Oekaki/Java problems & solutions

[Arctictern]

When I try to create a new drawing my browser keeps saying that Java crashed.....is there anything I can do?

I was just wondering if there is any way to change the size of the canvas in ChibiPaint. Right now, the canvas I want is a different size and is portrait oriented (that's how I usually draw), rather than landscape as is the default in this program. If anyone could show me a way to achieve a change in size, or at least orientation, the help would be very appreciated.

Can you try using another browser to see if the same thing happens?

Make sure you have v2.0 of Chibipaint. Then you can use the rotate button in the Oekaki to rotate the canvas.
The size cannot be altered, though.

@ Doctor- I've tried all the browsers I have..........none of them seem to work; I also reinstalled Java a lot of times just to make sure (I even went online to the 'verify Java' link), but it still didn't work...... D:

Uninstall all your Java programs via the control panel.
Then download and install the offline version.

Also, make sure that your firewall or antivirus isn't blocking Java.

I just tried it and it didn't work ;_; Pretty sure firewall and antivirus aren't doing anything funky; must be my computer or somethin', it keeps saying that Java crashed. I think I successfully downloaded and installed Java, just that it keeps crashing.....

Hey DoctorDraca, I edited the post to remove the bit about unfinished drawings taking up Java memory (as they don't). I also added a bit that some people find that installing JTablet, even if they don't have a tablet, solves lags while drawing.

Oh, sorry 'bout that. Thanks, Nick. c:
