What upgraded -
In order of upgrade:
nVidia 6100 upgraded to run driver for nVidia 8800GT (I did that upgrade)
SH3D would still not run yet.
AutoUpdater then updated the Java Console.
SH3D suddenly would run.

I'm not sure if ...

Just a note:

My system being Mandriva - Automatically updates 99% of all programs I have including JAVA and JAVA Webstart.. needless to say my System updated this morning and I can now run Sweet Home 3D from the Web page - but not yet from my installed version.

Well, I managed to upload the doors, and pybaret then downloaded them and made them in two different colors and reuploaded them :D

I still can't run this on my computer no matter how I try and at this point I've tried a lot of different things. My thing is if I can run OpenGL, and inbrowser Java ...

I posted those as THOSE are the ones preventing me from running Sweet Home 3D, and pretty much any Java application that uses a browser..

Not yet, it kills me that applications such as JAVA don't keep up to date with Browsers - Firefox 2.0.0.01 came out over 5 months ago ... (as it came with my DVD install of Mandriva)

Instead of racking my brain to work out why the JAVA won't run, I could have been working out another browser to ...

2. Click Clear in the Error Console window to clear ...

hmm no such thing here... interesting...

Best method for Linux users is what are known as installers. For Red Had based Linux (including Mandriva) these are .RPM http://www.rpm.org/ <- that page should contain all links to everything you ever wanted to know about them, and how they work. For Debian based Linux (including Ubuntu/Xubuntu ...

Hmm, no those do not work either... and I think I may know why. They all use OpenGL - which I've had a problem with before on this computer. I will look into my OpenGL settings and see what might be causing the OpenGL driver to not work with Java - as the OpenGL does work for my screensaver.
