The computers in 3314 are running Chrome 43.xx.x and Java 7. For Chrome
> 42 Java needs to be specially enabled, as Christopher did.
(
I think he did this:
In your URL bar, enter:
chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
Click the Enable link for the Enable NPAPI configuration option.
Click the Relaunch button that now appears at the bottom of the configuration
page.
)
So my guess is that Chrome either auto-updated or someone updated it.
I'll put a registry tweak in TEM to turn off Chrome auto-update, if
possible. That way we can update between semester and verify that everything
is working and will stay working throughout semester.
Thanks!
Chad. msg430 (view) Author: cwseys Date: 2015-06-30.14:12:02 Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the heads up. I'll poke around to see if I can determine why
Chrome or Java changed their settings to make Java applets not run with
intervetion.
Chad.

The current version of Chrome on the computers didn't normally support the required plugin to open the applet, so I had to re-enable it manually on each of the computers. It was a temporary issue since I was able to resolve it, but I don't know if the settings will persist if the computers are restarted. Just a heads up on a possible future issue later labs might have.
