Elan hangs intializing on new computer

Posted by Kelley at 2010-06-23 06:14

I have just transferred my files to a new PC running Windows 7.  Elan cannot open my EAF files.  It hangs while initializing.  I shut it down as it seemed to be stuck and stayed initializing for a long time a day or so ago. Here is one log: Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: ELAN 3.9.0 Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: Java version: 1.5.0_11 Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: Runtime version: 1.5.0_11-b03 Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: OS name: Windows Vista Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: OS version: 6.1 Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: User language: en Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: User home: C:\Users\Kelley Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: User dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0 Jun 23, 2010 10:55:58 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main INFO: Classpath: C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\elan.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\mfsearch__V1.1.0.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\jmf2.1.1a\jmf.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\jmf2.1.1a\sound.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\batik__V1.1.1.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\Do Not Install\copyandrename_v3.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\jhall-2.0.0.5.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\xalan-2.4.1.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\macapp__V03.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\xerces\2.9.0\xercesImpl-2.9.0.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\jlfgr-1_1.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\help.zip;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lib\cocoa_qt\1.4\JavaCocoaQTMovieView.jar;\\QTJava.zip;C:\windows\SysWOW64\QTJava.zip;C:\Program Files (x86)\ELAN 3.9.0\lax.jar; Jun 23, 2010 10:55:59 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.util.SystemInstallationSecurity verifyLibExt INFO: verifying lib/ext C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\ELAN 3.9.0\JRE\LIB\EXT Jun 23, 2010 10:55:59 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.integration.ExternalLauncher start INFO: External launch thread started...

The log shows that the program hangs when trying to create a QuickTime based player. Are you indeed using QuickTime movie files, .mov or .qt? Was QuickTime installed before ELAN and what's the contents of
the "java_elan.policy" file in the root of the ELAN install folder?

Thank you for getting back with me.  I installed Elan before Quicktime.  I do not find the file you reference but did find this warning in the ELAN install log: Get Registry Entry:       Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\QuickTime                           Value Name: QTSysDir                           Status: WARNING                           Additional Notes: WARNING - Win32Exception I will reinstall ELAN to see if that will help.  I have had the problem in the past and this has worked.
