When you try to install Java Runtime environment  by Oracle you will now be hit with this message:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://sdlc-esd-stage.oracle.com/ESD6/JSCDL/jdk/8u101-b13/JavaSetup8u101.exe?" on this server.

Reference #18.6b7d117.1474816754.d96a7d5

This is not a block done by Windows 10.  Though such behavior is notable by Microsoft like blocking the installation of freeware competitors to 365 Word which should be stopped by national trading authorities.  Microsoft has a popup that says the programs will not run on Windows 10.  However, install a freeware word processor using a PC running windows 7, transfer the program folder over to a Windows 10 laptop, create a shortcut to the "exe" file, and it will run perfectly.

Now let's get back to the current issue.  Because of legal problems Oracle must now get an acceptance of its terms and conditions.  You must got to, 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

Cursor down to "Java SE Runtime Environment 8u102".  Click the little circle next to "Accept License Agreement" in the 8u102 box and the message will change to,

 "Thank you for accepting the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE; you may now download this software."

Cursor Down to "Windows x64 Offline".  Download and install Java.

Have a good day!

Get to Google faster. Update your default search engine. Sure. No thanks. How to Stop it.

                                  
There is an easy way to stop getting the,

 "Get to Google faster. Update your default search engine.  Sure. No thanks."

message at the top of the Google start page.

...................................................................................

A lot of old stuff still exists out there.  There is an ancient URL for Google that was once used to get to iGoogle.  This URL can be modified to your region and the "Get to Google faster" nuisance message does not appear.

As an example the usual URL for Google Australia is "https://www.google.com.au/".  The nuisance nag always shows at the top of the Google page when I start Internet Explorer.

If I use the URL "http://www.google.com.au/webhp?nord=1" as the start page the nag message does not appear, but the normal Google au search page appears.

Just modify the URL for your region.

If you are in the uk use the URL "http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?nord=1".

No need to download  Adblock 1.3.10. and enter "##DIV#mgmhppd" as a new filter rule.

Just use the URL as set out above.

There we have it.

Happy Interneting

Adding Your Own Favicon Icon to Your Blogspot Blog Template

YOUR OWN FAVICON IN THE OLD BLOGSPOT BLOGGER INTERFACE

If you don't like the new interface - like me - you can just edit the HTML.

Make your 16x16 pic, change it to the ".ico" format and rename it "faviconbyme.ico".

Upload it to the "images" folder on your ordinary website server.

This images folder should be in /public_html/ - the usual place.

Sign into the Blogger Dashboard and choose "Template".

Put the following code (change it to your own website name) above "</head>" .

<type="text/css" /><link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/faviconbyme.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Save it and now you have a pretty little icon for users who want to follow your blog.  Users will put your blog URL in their "Bookmarks".

The code,

<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="http://www.blogger.com/favicon.ico"/>

could still be in the blog html.  You can leave it or remove it.  Your code will override the microsoft icon instruction.

MOZILLA FIREFOX 14 WILL NOT UPDATE TO FIREFOX 15 IN WINDOWS 7, won't, can't, cannot

MOZILLA FIREFOX 14 WILL NOT UPDATE TO FIREFOX 15 IN WINDOWS 7

Firefox programmers are just as useless as those at Microsoft Internet Explorer. They drink coffee all day and then go home to play with their hardware.

They are paid to do a job then do something else, wasting their work hours away. You would not believe that programmers must be the most absent minded people in the world. They concentrate on putting useless complex things into software that users just will not use, but they forget to cover the basics.

There is a reason why Firefox 14 will not update to Firefox 15. Firefox 14 is installed in a Mozilla Firefox folder in the C: drive Programs Files folder in Windows 7 64bit. Oddly, Firefox 15 is installed in C:\users\name\AppData\local\Mozilla folder in Windows 7 32bit and in the 64bit. You are given no option to change it.

To see the AppData folder go to the "name" folder from "Users" in Explorer. Click "Organize". Click "Folder and search options". Click the "View" tab. Then click the little circle to the left of "Show hidden files, folders and drives".

You will need to access this folder later.

UPGRADING TO MOZILLA FIREFOX 15

Forget about Firefox 14 in the program folder for the moment. Download a fresh copy of Mozilla Firefox 15 and install it. Mozilla will just leave the old Firefox 14 where it is so you can drag out a fresh shortcut link from the exe file onto your desktop and run both versions. Aren't Firefox programmers clever. Don't tell them - they haven't noticed it yet!

Run Firefox 15 from the start menu or from the new link it "hopefully' put on your desktop. From the word GO you will get a warning band across the top of the page in the browser when you encounter a website with background sound. You will probably get a message telling you that you need to install Quicktime. After you install it you will get the warning again and again. You may get something else - a warning telling you that Quicktime has malfunctioned. Every time you go to a website with sound you will get the same warning. With no sound from Firefox 15 you go to Google, search and find this blog.

It is not a Quicktime problem!

SOLUTION

You can go to "Add-ons" and not see Windows Media Player there. Download Firefox WMP Plugin from here. You will probably still not get any sound.

Open this folder: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

(the old Firefox 14 folder)

In another window open this folder:
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox.
Be careful because it may be in a sub,sub folder like,
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox.

Copy the "Plugins" folder from Firefox 14 to the folder of Firefox 15.

THE IDIOTS HAVE NOT PROVIDED A PLUGINS FOLDER IN FIREFOX 15. HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLE FORGET???

MOZILLA FIREFOX 14 WILL NOT UPDATE TO FIREFOX 15 IN WINDOWS 7

You will now have sound in Firefox 15. If you have already uninstalled Firefox 14 you can get the files in the Plugins folder from here.

Google Chrome Will Not Play Music

Is the silence of Google Chrome driving you nuts?

I am running Windows 7 32bit on a Laptop and Windows 7 64bit on a PC. Something is really odd about the way Google's installer chooses the destination folder. For example, on my PC running 64bit Chrome is installed in a new Google folder in my C: drive Programs Folder (x86). This is the usual place for almost all programs. On my Laptop running 32bit Chrome is installed in the C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Google folder.

The other odd things is, Chrome on my PC plays background sound on websites and sound on YouTube. My Laptop plays no sound in the Chrome browser. I even copied the folder from my PC onto a memory stick and plugged it into the laptop.

For a while when I clicked the exe file on the memory stick Chrome opened and played music on site and video sound. The folder was also copied onto the Laptop desktop and clicking the exe file there also opened Chrome and it played all sounds.

After 10 minutes, however, Chrome would not open any more. Even copying the folder into the Program Folder did not work.

Your only option is to install portable Chrome and update it manually. It is exactly the same as the "fixed" version and you can even sign in and get your bookmarks installed.

Get Google Chrome Portable from here.

For the direct download click here.

Portable Chrome will play all sound from the word GO.

The exe launcher file for Portable Chrome is in the Download folder where you put the initial download. Leave it there and drag a shortcut to where you want, or mover the whole portable folder to your Programs Files folder and drag a shortcut from there.
