JRE 6 Won't Work, and Oracle Won't Respond

guest2859 · October 09, 2011, 04:26:16 PM

Yeah...

Maybe someone could help me with this? I've messed with all Java settings, and no one else is helping.

In regards to Minecraft, which closes out because the JRE won't activate.

have you problem with Java? If so, have you tried to update it?

I had a quick look and it looks like the error is caused inside the OpenGL wrapper system.

And this

QuoteC [atioglx1.dll+0x3fb4c7]

is the OpenGL part of your ATI graphics driver. So my guess would be it is a bug inside the graphics driver, not Java...

Numerous times, have tried JRE 7-2, JRE 6-27, and just went with repetition after repetition, but nothing works.

@bommel, freakin lovely. I'll try updating.

no problem, I hope this will fix it.

Plan failed.

what kind of graphics card do you have and which driver do you use?

guest2859 · October 10, 2011, 12:07:42 AM

Radeon 9250, the driver came the CD, and windows says it's the latest driver

bommel · October 10, 2011, 11:09:26 AM

I don't trust Windows when it comes to detecting driver versions

Is it this version (ATI Catalyst 6.11)?

guest2859 · October 10, 2011, 09:49:54 PM

No idea. I'm going to run it just in case.

bommel · October 11, 2011, 02:24:22 AM

If it doesn't work I'm afraid they won't fix it because it is too old (according to AMD's website it's from 2006). However, it is still possible that Minecraft or the OpenGL wrapper inside Java is buggy, too.

guest2859 · October 11, 2011, 07:42:05 PM

Nope, nothing's working. The Java appears in the tray for just under a minute when using Minecraft online, but then just dies. Then I tried Java's online version detection, and no information showed up, so I think it might be something in regards to what you did say.

Apparantly your card support OpenGL 1.3. Minecraft minimum seems to be OpenGL 1.4. I wouldn't expect a fix for that card.

That's an extremely old card

Time for an upgrade.

Agreed. The 9250 is very obsolete. As Haxalot said, maximum OGL support for a 9250 appears to be v1.3. MC needs 1.4. Also, the 9250 isn't DX9 compliant.

Time to start searching for an upgrade.

Well, I'm still searching for a working motherboard with PCIe and DDR-SDRAM so I can get all my memory and decent graphics, but that's not going to fall in my lap like all the other computers have lately

bommel · October 16, 2011, 06:44:45 AM

You won't find that new. I've bought mine on ebay and it was pretty expensive.

Swoka Ikran · October 16, 2011, 11:31:25 AM

Motherboards with DDR RAM and PCI-e are indeed a bit hard come by nowadays...everything is DDR2 or DDR3.

I got a 2006 eMachines with this config off the curb back in March. You might want to see if anyone is throwing away 2005-2007 year PCs near you, because I've seen a lot of PCs from that time-frame with this configuration.
