Trouble Shooting:

Here, you find some support hints, when problems occur with my skin:


1. Active-X Requester Warning

If the Java classes or the Java Runtime Environment are not installed correctly or not functioning properly, the skin will use the internal JavaScript code to perform the related functions. For security reasons the system will then show a warning (Active X Requester) each time such code is running, informing you that a script is trying to access the file system. This can only be avoided by the correct installation of the classes and the Java Runtime Environment (Virtual Machine).

2. Java Classes Error

Besides installing the Java classes you also need to grant "permissions" to access certain system resources, such as the file system. For Sun's Java VM this can be done with the tool "policytool.exe", which is found in the "bin" subfolder of the Java installation ("<Program Files>\Java\j2re1_x.y_z" or "<Programs>\Java\jre1_x.y_z", from now on referred to as <JAVA HOME>).

At first startup policytool.exe may give you a message, that the file "<HOME_PATH>\.java.policy"file of your user account was not found, which can be ignored for the time being.

Illustration: Sun's Java Policy Tool

Use File|Open to locate and open the file "java.policy" file in "<JAVA-HOME>\lib\security". Then click "Add Policy Entry" to open the Policy Entry window.

Now some permissions must be added to the Policy. Click the button "Add Permission", which will open yet another window called "Permissions".

Five permissions will have to be created, in order to allow access to the data files, the pictures and access to the internet for the downloads.

 

a. RunTimePermission I

Select "RuntimePermission" from the first dropdown ("Permission").

Select "modifyThreadGroup" from the second dropdown ("Target Name").

Click "OK" to confirm.

b. RunTimePermission II

Select "RuntimePermission" from the first dropdown ("Permission").

Select "modifyThread" from the second dropdown ("Target Name").

Click "OK" to confirm.

 

c. FilePermission I

Select "FilePermission" from the first dropdown ("Permission").

On the right side, next to "Target Name:", enter the full path to the image directory  <DVD-Profiler>\\images\\- (i.e. the subfolder "images" in the installation directory of DVD-Profiler followed by a dash ("-")).The dash at the end will include all subdirectories. For example:

C:\\Program Files\\InterVocative Software\\DVD Profiler\\IMAGES\\-

Enter "read,write" into the field next to "Actions.

Click "OK" to confirm.

d. FilePermission II

Select "FilePermission" from the first dropdown ("Permission").

On the right side, next to "Target Name:", enter the full path to the image directory  <DVD-Profiler>\\data\\infos\\- (i.e. the subfolder "data\infos" in the installation directory of DVD-Profiler followed by a dash ("-")).The dash at the end will include all subdirectories. For example:

C:\\Program Files\\InterVocative Software\\DVD Profiler\\data\\infos\\-

Enter "read,write" into the field next to "Actions.

Click "OK" to confirm.

e. FilePermission III

Select "FilePermission" from the first dropdown ("Permission").

On the right side, next to "Target Name:", enter the full path to the image directory  <DVD-Profiler>\\media\\- (i.e. the subfolder "media" in the installation directory of DVD-Profiler followed by a dash ("-")).The dash at the end will include all subdirectories. For example:

C:\\Program Files\\InterVocative Software\\DVD Profiler\\media\\-

Enter "read,write" into the field next to "Actions.

Click "OK" to confirm.

e. FilePermission IV

Select "FilePermission" from the first dropdown ("Permission").

On the right side, next to "Target Name:", enter the full path to the image directory  <MyCollectionPath>\\- (i.e. the Directory for your collection files (XML, Text) followed by an asterisk ("*")).The asterisk at the end will include all files in that directory. For example:

C:\\Program Files\\InterVocative Software\\DVD Profiler\\*

Enter "read,write" into the field next to "Actions.

Click "OK" to confirm.

When all permissions are properly set, click "Done" to conclude the procedure. In the main window do a "File|Save As"and save the file with the name ".java.policy" (it is important to place the dot in front of the name!) in the "root" of your user account ("C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>"). Close the Policy Tool.

3. Error "Cannot create Object" when using the Revolving Feature

When you get the error message "Cannot create object" when using the Revolving feature for the Cover images, follow the procedure below (<typical disclaimer here>):

a.       Download and unzip the missing DXtmsft3.dll to your SYSTEM32 directory (typically "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32" or "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32").

b.      Register the .DLL like this : Click START > RUN and type (or paste) the following: regsvr32 dxtmsft3.dll

c.       That's it.
