I cannot accept the security agreement and this pops up in the console:
My java is version 6 update 14 and I am using Internet Explorer 7

I renamed the file, but now when I hit accept it gives me a second window that freezes.
When I say it freezes, I mean I cannot select the "Run" option.

Nevermind. I got it fixed, after reinstalling I deleted the trusted.cert and it worked

i've got a similar problem on both my Macs. it's the same problem with Safari, FF and Camino, as soon as Minecraft loads it gives me some blank security window which i can't click away. i can't play Minecraft at all now, which infuriates me a bit.

i can't find that file, oddly enough. i've checked all library and application support folders, and tried to fiddle with the Java Preferences app.

Same prob here(Windows XP), I was gettin the security window with no URL that you can't click (locks up all of firefox, however you can move the security window around as demonstrated) so i found and deleted trusted.certs.

It seemed like it worked but then after the first successful security window, it followed with another one, again with no URL, locking up firefox. > : (

i also get this odd window, after deleting minecraft.com from the Java security list:



rather odd, indeed.

I've found a workaround:

XP only afaik

When you get to the frozen security window, while it is still open delete C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\trusted.certs

You will probably have to manually type in the address because of hidden folders.

Now you should be able to click the run button when you have no trusted.certs. When you do, it will create a new one, so every time you want to run the game you'll have to do this until there's a real fix.

Edit: nvm, this doesn't work reliably, if at all. I give up :sad.gif:

^^ no

Is there a way to fix it for firefox and vista? This seemed to start after I saved a level, is this just a coincidence?

I too am having the problem of the frozen certificate box. Very rarely (lottery chance), it actually works, but oft not.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling java, along with deleting the certs file.

I tried it in three browsers (Opera, Firefox, IE 8).

I tried creating a ‘junk file’ in place of the actual certs file (that is, I created a certs file with the letter “a” in it). This caused an error.

The second box seems to be trying to get a certificate from file://, a URL that does not even exist. That said, this is very likely not our fault, but instead a problem that Notch will need to fix.

I have been getting this error with the dialogue box before the new block types were added. So it is likely that this error was not caused by the differences in the updated version, but a problem caused by the server change.

EDIT: It seems that deleting the cookies and temporary internet files before each use is the key! Or just one of those, I delete both for good measure (most likely, cookies is unnecessary). This solution has only been tested in IE, however.

EDIT 2: Never mind. It worked for a moment, but not anymore. It seems that it’s no coincidence that none of our solutions seem to work for very long. This almost definitely must be a side effect of the server change.

Same problem here.

Windows Vista Business

Firefox, IE7, Google Chrome

Re-installed Java latest version (****ING painful experience)

Tried all fixes in previous posts (the files you were talking about did not exist in the locations you said they did. they were in a completely different location for me so I deleted them there.)

>:sad.gif: It still does not work...........

Anyone know if the freezing certificate box is even being looked into?

It has struck me too, and it's getting pretty frustrating. :|

I was playing just fine before the server switch, so I think Joat is on the right track with his guess about something server side being the cause... although why it is hitting just some of us is beyond me.

At any rate, it'd be nice to know whether or not it is even on the devs radar...

yea im having the same problems as all of the above
Hopefully there is a reliable way to fix this. :wink.gif:

Im currently reinstalling and deleting the .cert files. Ill tell you if it works

EDIT:

Firefox - installing and deleting cert files do not work. After pressing ok once, another "unclickable" screen will show up.

Internet Explorer - installing and deleting the cert files do not work. The same bug happens. You cannot click the OK or CANCEL and IE freezes up.

ALSO: The box asking to accept the digital security doesn't close. I always have to close it from Task Manager.
