your securty settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.

Check the security settings in your browser and in your Java Control Panel.

How exactly are you running the program? What *exact* error message are you seeing?

your securty settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.

What are your Java security settings? Can you post a screenshot of them?



It really doesn't matter. Java is Java.

I am running this on my laptop , I have windows 7 and IE 8

Please forgive me on this , but I have no idea what a jar is , only what jam goes in

Settings from Java are , well the bar is on high and that's it

Don't know how to do a screen shot sorry about this

You could also add the site to your exception site list, which is also outlined in the link I posted.

please dont think i am completly thick on this , and i know you are helping me which i am very gratefull, but i have done some of this even before posted this thread.

i did move the bar to meduim and the webcams work , but i get this messgae now,

an unsigned application from the the location below is requesting permission to run,

then next bit in red,

running unsigned applications like this will be blocked in a future release because it is potentially unsafe and a securty risk

plus i tryed the exception list , but still no good , plus i have noticed it asks for https , the adress i have is http only ?????

That second link includes screenshots of exactly the warnings you're seeing, and exactly what they mean.

You might also consider contacting whoever is in charge of the webcams and ask if there are alternative ways to view them.

thanks for your help anyway its appreciated.
