Hi again Kausik. Thanks for sending the images - these helped clarify whats going on. I'll just take each of your steps in turn...

Failure to start (with an error message hidden away somewhere in the console) is the usual symptom. > I put in http://www.jalview.org in my Java security exception list, but that > didn't help. You should not need to do this. We use a fully trusted certificate to sign Jalview when launched from www.jalview.org. Just to be sure, I recommend you remove any exceptions concerning www.jalview.org before continuing. These might affect the security check. > In my Process Manager, I see that upon opening the launchApp.jnlp, the Java > jp2launcher.exe starts up (screenshot), and then shuts down on its own. > Opening the jalview.jnlp starts javaws.exe, which also shuts down on its own. > I have attached the two .jnlp files I tried to use. The shutdown suggests that there was an error in the jnlp file downloaded. Taking a look at your launchApp.jnlp file, nothing appears to be wrong, but we have seen some odd behaviour in the past with this, so rather than debug the files you sent, I'd like you to try the following: 1. First - enable the Java webstart console (under the 'Advanced' tab of your Java preferences) 2. Open the 'Command Prompt' app (you should be able to just hit the launcher menu and type 'Command' ..).. 3. Type the following - exactly as shown: javaws "http://www.jalview.org/services/launchApp?jvm-max-heap=7G"; On hitting return, you should see a Java webstart dialog open and the Jalview desktop start to download and launch Jalview. Check your memory settings by enabling Tools->Show Memory Usage. If this doesn't work, try changing '7' to '3', and repeat. Lastly, if things still dont work, if the Java web start console is displayed, please copy and paste any messages into a file and send them to me. If you also get an 'Application failed to launch' dialog then also send me the 'Wrapped exception' output.. which gives the reason why the webstart launch failed.
