- Close Java Console
B. Clear the browser's cache. Clear the temporary internet files, cookies and history.
NOTE: Each browser is cleared differently. Use the browser's help for information on clearing its cache.
C. Manually clear the cached application and applets for specific applications:
-
Delete all the files in the 'wbapplet' cache.
Windows, clicking Start > Run... and entering %userProfile% will open the local Windows user directory.
