jusched.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for

My windows XP service pack 2 crashed a few weeks ago and I had to reinstall (using the repair function) now I keep getting the following error.

jusched.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for
the inconvenience.

I have tried to uninstall and get a fatal error. I have tried to reinstall and it just tells me that it is already installed and do I want to reinstall - if I say yes it still doesn't fix the error?? Is it a setting in my internet explorer. I have done all critical updates and all others recomended from the windows update page!!

HELP I need java for alot of applications!

 

Hello tschlitter and welcome to the Board

jusched.exe is the java update schedular - you can do without it.

Thanks charles

When I went to that site -
I did see the process running in the task manager
But I didn't see java in the control panels to make the additional changes
??

Hi Tracy,

Click on the java icon in the clock area with a left click or a right click - forgot which, to open the java console. And if not there, look in All Programs for java and click on that.

 

It is no longer there!!

Hi Tracy,

You may need to switch to Classic view in XP's control panel to see the java icon there.

If not: open Java Web Start, either the icon on your desk top or in your programs folder: C:\Program Files.

Click "File" then "Preferences "

Click the "Advanced" tab

Select "Show Java Console" and click OK

 

did that and now I get

OK - I got the Java Console and did the changes on the webpage and did the scheduled task but when it ran it said that I already had it installed did I want to reinstall and I said yes then I get the following error
Unable to Launch the Java (TM) Update installer :User Cancelled installation???? I didn't cancel anything??

Hi Tracy,

Delete the Scheduled Task.

Forget about any auto updating of java for the time being, the important issue here is whether the error message you got is absent and that you can use java. Update it manually using the java console, the auto update is once a month anyway.

In the meantime, I'll look for other solutions for the problem with jusched.exe

Otherwise, given what you wrote about uninstalling/reinstalling java, you would I think have to reinstall windows from scratch.

 

Thanks - so would I have to do a complete reinstall of windows or can I run a repair of windows XP??

Tracy

 

Well, you already did a repair. This problem is with java specifically - not windows.

The reason for reinstalling would be to clear all files and start anew with download/install of java, if that's your only problem - you did mention a "crash ".

 

I will try a repair again to see?? then if not a clean install - If you find anything else let me know and I'll let you know how I come out!! THANKS for all your help
Tracy

 

Up to you, but I don't think worth messing with windows over a once a month auto update issue as long as java itself works.

Of course, there are always pleasant supprises and may work

Happy Thanksgivig Tracy

 

It doesn't work either!!

You have a great holiday also! Let me know if you think of anything else to try!!!

Thanks again
Tracy
