Using MSIE 6 browser, I never have been able to run a Java game that I have off of my own hard drive, because of the security restrictions. That was under Windows ME but now I've migrated to WXP and I was hoping beyond hope that I could set the security options correctly to override any restrictions. But I cannot. I've tried adding the site "file://Documents and Settings" to my Local intranet zone and then setting its "Custom Level" security to low. This didn't work so I removed that site and added it instead to my "Trusted Sites" zone, with again low security set. I had to UNcheck the box that said use only https for this zone. But arghh, that didn't work either. Early on I tried what MSIE Help says, which is to manually enable prompting for active controls, in the main Internet Zone. It doesn't matter because I've tried everything and nothing works. I need to be able to launch this Java game offline for a variety of reasons. How can I do this? Of course, under Opera or Firefox there is no proplem, but I need to launch this game with MSIE to check the window size, spacing, screen positioning needs -- you know, stuff.
I am requesting *general* information, but if you wish to experiment with the precise same HTML page that I am using, it can be found here: http://placido.u21.0web-hosting.com/develop/papalot_intro.html ... look to the bottom of that page and download the (tiny) Zip archive that contains the game and its launcher page. Try to get that to launch correctly under WXP SP2. I am unable. The game window must be launched without snag, for it must be of a certain dimension and with certain traits (no toolbars etc). Hopefully this is of straightforward resolution, but I assert that I've tried everything imaginable. Administrator priveleges? ..not an issue, since my system is configured right now with only a sole fully-empowered user.
