CATIA help not working; Java issue?

[norkamus]

Can someone help with this one? I hit F1 and that used to get me to CATIA help. Now, when I hit the binoculars, I get the errors shown in my attachment. It's gotta be a Java thing. Nothing has changed by my hand. It worked last week.

Absolutely no security settings have been changed.

Please, using CATIA is hopeless without the help menu.

I am using Chrome on Windows 7. Same problem through Firefox.

I had the same issue using Internet Explorer. I switched over to Mozilla Firefox and issue was resolved

Firefox is where my issue came up. It worked fine last week.

I had the same thing after an update to 25. The Fox, Explorer and Chrome are down for me.

Try searching Google for "catia free fr" which should give the CATIAV5R20 help. Does that one work for you?

 

[KevinDeSmet]

Oh, if you insist on using the Binoculars function to search, it probably won't work either. I'd suggest to avoid it.

Hi,

Not on topic but who knows....I experienced some weird behavior for Skype and Yahoo Messenger, I thought also is Java who is guilty for that...no, it was IE10, after uninstalling IE10 and let IE9, all was back to normal..

But I like hitting F1 to get my help (and using the binoculars). That's the way it should be, and always was until last week.

Is there any way to severely cripple Java Update so that my computer can work harmoniously again? Any way to stop Sun Systems' relentless updates every half hour? Do I have to go down there?

Ferdo, maybe you can make a code-equivalent of a baseball bat and we cat set Java straight.

Off topic...Alas, help still not working

Hi,

I was curious if for me is working and...surprise...same error...so...what you have to do (in my case is Win7):

Go to Control Panel and click on Java (open Java Control Panel/Java Settings)
Set the Security Level to Medium

Close your browser and Java Control Panel

Open the browser, you will get a security warning, accept the risk and hit Run

Voila !!!

To understand more please read

Here is my Java control panel. I'm on Windows 7 as well.

The only way it worked for me, was unchecking in java control panel, the option "Enable the next-generation Java Plug-in".

any idea on how to enable the catia companion under win 8 (preferrably ie, but not limited to)? i've tried everything, but it always says javascript disabled. i've tried lowering the security level, but it doesn't help.
