Oekaki/Java problems & solutions

[Huskyy]

Very helpful thanks!

Okay, I am having a problem with my Oekaki that has been going on for the past few days. I get a grey screen every time I load the program!

I have read through this section:

“I'm trying to load the oekaki but it's giving me a grey screen?”

It's possible that Java wasn't installed correctly on your computer or that you're using an older update. Uninstall all Java programs from your computer and download and install the latest version from their website. Then be sure to refresh your browser.

You can also try the above link to verify your Java version. If it's updated, it'll give you instructions to fix it.

If it still won't work, then check your antivirus and firewall. They may be blocking Java. Turn either of them off for a test. As I cannot list every solution for every antivirus, I suggest you google how to make an exception for Java so your computer will remain protected and you'll be able to draw.

Only for Windows users
If you're still getting a grey screen after trying everything, then uninstall your current Java versions and download and install the offline installer located here:

and done all of the solutions, even re installed Java three times! But they grey screen continues. One thing I noticed is, usually a pop up will appear asking me to run the program, and than it works. But now, no screen appears, I think that might have something to do with the problem, but I have no idea how to start fixing it. Please help <3

Help please?

Are you sure you've removed everything when you uninstall? Have you tried JavaRa (if you're using Windows)?

Hi there! I'm having problems with my Oekaki, so I'm wondering if any of you guys could help me out. c:

First of all, I use a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion. I have used Oekaki before, but it has stopped working for a while now and for quite some time, I just didn't use Oekaki, but now I really want to get back into the groove and use it.

I added attachments to show what happens, as well.

I'll start up Oekaki, it'll show the CS loading screen then the canvas, then after I actually click on the canvas, those two popups that I attached appear. For the first one, I tried both options (continue and cancel) and neither worked. After I got through those screens, the canvas stayed up but I couldn't click anything on it or even click the file, edit, ect. buttons.

I've tried everything I can think of: I uninstalled and reinstalled the newest Java, same with JTablet and I even switched to Firefox to see if it would work. Which it didn't. :C

Anyone know the solution? I really want to enter an artist competition and it ends soon, so I'm really hoping to have Oekaki work as soon as I can! Thanks!

I updated it and then got an error again. either I need to uninstall the old version or go to that page again to choose the 2. whatever for the program of chibipaint to choose

ok so i'm having an issue with my java...

every time i want to color something, it shows me this:


i have java installed and updated, but it still won't let me use oekaki...
every time i attempt to uninstall then reinstall, it wants me to make ask.com
my default search engine and make that my home page.
i do not want that, so i uncheck both of the boxes.


when i click next, it says that java installed.


however, when i click close like it says to, it shows me this.


if i click reinstall, it just does it all over. if i click it installed correctly
or cancel, it gives me this.



so i don't know what is wrong with it...
thank you for any help, if you need clarification on anything, let me know.

Oh <3 sorry.
Actually no, I will try that also. And JavaRa? I do not believe I have heard of this before... I used the normal Java before with no problems, but I will try this also. Could you give me link please? Thank you for your help! <33

Rainbow Rose, JavaRa is third party software that removes all traces of Java from your computer so you can have a clean install. It's easy to use and quite safe.

vintage rose, can you try the offline installer?

I removed the Java from my computer and Avast! asked me to clear my add ons and I did, and with a few more adjustments all is well!
Thank you for your help! <33

Hi
I'm on Linux Mint 16, and I've tried to get the Oekaki to work with Opera and Firefox, and they just aren't cooperating It just shows this
and doesn't let me do anything. IcedTea and Java and all that are working as far as I know.
