Having trouble accessing Steve’s APBA Card Computer? This might help

I’ve seen reports of some APBA fans having some trouble accessing Steve’s APBA Card Computer so I thought I’d pass on a quick tip to help fix it.  I’ve encountered a Java error and so did a fellow manager in the IAL.  It’s a quick fix and once implemented, it’s taken care of. 

If you get this error:

or this one:

Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running

This is what you can do:

  1. Go to the Java Control Panel (On Windows Click Start –> Control Panel then Java)
  2. Click on the Security tab
  3. Click on the Edit Site List button
  4. Click Add in the Exception Site List window
  5. Click in the empty field under the Location field to enter the URL of Steve’s web page (I put in “http://www.jrat.net/steve/compuduck/cardcomp/” (without quotes) and it worked)
    Also, it’s a good idea to make sure you are running an up-to-date version of Java. 
    As I said, this seemed to work fine for me.  Steve, if you read this and have other suggestions, feel free to chime in. 
    By the way, thanks Steve!  Great tool!
