IDA FAQ

What are the IDA System Requirements?

• Web browser software.
• Internet connected computer.
• Java Plug-in version 1.5 or higher.

Check here to see if you have the Java Plug-in installed: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

Why do I get an Applet Initialization error message?

When the IDA is updated, a new version of the applet may be created. Some browser software may keep a cached version of the old applet resulting in the error message. To resolve, clear the cache by first opening the Java Console and then pressing "X" to clear the cache:

Windows:

• IE: Tools | Sun Java Console
• Mozilla: Tools | Web Development | Java Console

Linux: (SeaMonkey^?)

• Tools->Web Development->Java Console

Linux: (Firefox)

• Go to the directory that Java is installed in (e.g., /usr/java)
• run bin/ControlPanel
• Advanced->Java console
• Choose "Show console"
• OK

Mac: (Safari and Firefox)

• Go to Applications/Utilities/Java
• Locate Java Preferences (and double-click)
• Advanced->Java Console
• Choose "Show Console"

Close your browser and then open a new browser window.
