javaw.exe problem

Posted by jh at 2010-03-05 23:08  

Hi, <br><br>I have been working with ELAN 3.7.2 and 3.8.1 over the last year. Just a few days ago I get the message "javaw.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for<br>
the inconvenience." None of my transkripts can be used for longer than one or two minutes. I have uninstalled both java and ELAN and reinstalled ELAN, but it is still the same situation. (Windows XP on a Dell Laptop). <br><br>Any thoughts?<br><br>Thanks a lot, <br><br>Johannes<br><br><br>

If ELAN has been working correctly for a long time and suddenly problems like you describe popup, this is likely due to an update of the system or installment of new media codecs. ELAN includes a Java Runtime Environment and should function independently of any other installed Java. I would first check the codecs in use. After a crash of Java open the log file and look for the "Filters in the filter chain" and possibly error messages at the end of the file. How to find the log file has been described here.

I have looked up the crash-file (elan0 in .elan-data), but there are no errors mentioned in the filters in the filter chain-section. The whole lists reads like this: <br>"Filters in the filter chain: <br>index: 0&nbsp; name: Default DirectSound Device<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: Audio Input pin (rendered)<br>index: 1&nbsp; name: Video Renderer<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: VMR Input0<br>index: 2&nbsp; name: AC3Filter<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: In<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 1&nbsp; name: Out<br>index: 3&nbsp; name: DirectVobSub (auto-loading version)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: XForm In<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 1&nbsp; name: XForm Out<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 2&nbsp; name: Input<br>index: 4&nbsp; name: MPEG Audio Decoder<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: XForm In<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 1&nbsp; name: XForm Out<br>index: 5&nbsp; name: Ligos MPEG Video Decoder<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: XForm In<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 1&nbsp; name: XForm Out<br>index: 6&nbsp; name: MPEG-I Stream Splitter<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: Input<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 1&nbsp; name: Video<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 2&nbsp; name: Audio<br>index: 7&nbsp; name: file:///C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/jh/Eigene Dateien/AlleDaten/Auswertungen/Experimente&amp;TestsVideoAudio<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pin: 0&nbsp; name: Output"<br>
There is only one thing that looks remotely like an
error to me: "WARNUNG: Preferences file does not exist: C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\jh\.elan_data\shortcuts.pfsx" <br>
Do I need this .pfsx-file or is this entry unrelated to my problem? Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help!<br>

Sorry for the HTML-tags, I do not know how to turn them off.

It probably was a codec-problem. I have installed the K-Lite_Codec_Pack_570_Mega and now things seem to work again. As usual: Thanks a lot for the support!
