RadarLab HD is launched through a program called Java Web Start. Java Web Start is supposed to check when a new version of RadarLab HD is present and then download it to your computer. We have found that this does not always work.
Because of this, we have added some code in RadarLab HD to check for a new version every time it is launched. If a new version is found, it is downloaded and the user is informed of this. This code was added to the "V1.0 Revision 11" version of RadarLab HD. Please make sure you have this version or a higher version of RadarLab HD installed on your computer so you will automatically receive software updates. To determine which version of RadarLab HD you have installed just click on the RadarLab HD logo in the upper right hand corner of the program. If you do not have version "V1.0 Revision 11" or higher installed, you will need to delete your Java cache and then relaunch RadarLab HD from the website. To delete your Java cache, do the following:
In Windows:
1. Bring up the Control Panel (Start->Control Panel or Start->Settings->Control Panel).
2. Clicking on the "Java" icon. (If you do not see the "Java" icon, click on the "Switch to Classic View" link on the left side of the Control Panel.) This will bring up the Java Control Panel.
3. Click on the "Settings.." button. This brings up the "Temporary Files Settings" window.
4. Click on the "Delete Files..." button. This brings up the "Delete Temporary Files" window.
5. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of this window. This will remove RadarLab HD from you computer.
6. Relaunch RadarLab HD from the weathertap.com website and you will have the latest version of RadarLab HD.
In Macintosh OS X:
1. In the Finder, go to the "GO" menu and select "Utilities".
2. Open the "Java" folder.
3. Open the "J2SE" folder. This will probably be labeled "J2SE 5.0".
4. Open the "Java Perferences" application.
5. Click on the "Delete Files" button.
6. Confirm that "Downloaded Applets", Downloaded Applications" and "Other Files" are all checked.
7. Click "OK". This will remove RadarLab HD from you computer.
8. Relaunch RadarLab HD from the weathertap.com website and you will have the latest version of RadarLab HD.
