Re: [Bluemusic-users] Java requirements for blue_OSX_2.1.1_beta - was:Problems with Disk Render

[Jan J. H. <jj...@so...>]

Dear Steven,

thanks for helping. Still I was not successful. While going through  
that process in Terminal the first time, I received a warning message  
(warning me of dataloss if I did anything wrong) and I had to type in  
my password two times. After that Java -preferences crashed constantly  
on startup. So I did your redo-formula (thank you even more for  
that ;-)) and java preferences still crashed.
So I did the whole process a second time from the start. Sill java- 
preferences crashed. But the redo this time worked and java  
preferences was back again, like in the old days. So I did it a third  
time, more confident, but with the same result like the second time.

Here is the output that remained in terminal:

I am sure you will see at once if there is any chance left...

All the best,
