Well i ran it the other day with the splash screen disabled on mine and it did show me a file update and allowed me to update it.
Any more ideas on what's really causing the issue?
Edit: I just can't seem to find any other posts or blogs anywhere stating that someone else is having this problem with the updater. It seems unique to him. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe I'll go do another search on the error in relation to just Java again and work with him more in that area. He says that
sometimes now, with the splash screen
enabled it will work.
Edit2: Seems like I may have been too quick to eliminate the firewall. The only other occurrences of the "Splash: recv failed" error that I can find deal with either Panda Antivirus (as Kaldran discovered), needing to update Java (which he has) and the Comodo firewall. I came across two posts with occurences of an unexplainable, bug evidently, in the Comodo firewall where people are getting this "Splash: recv failed" even when they are disabling the firewalll, putting the firewall in learning mode, etc. They have resolved this the same way by disabling the splash screen, yet some of them have solved it by uninstalling Comodo. It is evidently having a problem allowing Java Web Start to connect to the local host. I don't want anybody to think I'm bashing Comodo, because it's the best software firewall you can get... strange bugs do occur, even to the best of programmers.
I will get back to you on this and let you know, so that you can maybe add it to the 'possible error messages and possible solutions' page... I'd say it's safe to go ahead and add the Panda Antivirus as a cause; from my reading, there appears to be no work around in Panda Antivirus either.
