I don't think it is a Java5 issue. I've just tried running HackyInstaller on another machine with the exact same Java 5 version and the two problems didn't appear.
I'm not quite sure what the difference is. But, I did use Remote Desktop to get to both machines though. thanks, aaron ----- Original Message ----- From: Philip Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, September 16, 2005 12:23 pm Subject: Re: [HACKYSTAT-DEV-L] hackyinstaller problems > --On Friday, September 16, 2005 11:05 AM -1000 Aaron Akihisa > Kagawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Hey Guys, > > > > I just downloaded HackyIntaller version 6.7.909 from > > http://hackystat.ics.hawaii and I had some problems that caused > me to > > stop using it.
