The new version of JigSaw Detector does not work for me. The older version worked pretty good.
I am running
Pentium 4 3.0Ghz, cpu with 512 ram.
Windows xp, Home Edition, 2 release
Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox
32 bit colors
1024 x 768 resolution
Fonts: My choices are Clear and Standard, nothing about smooth fonts, there, clear is checked cause that what works with most of the programs.
Sun Java, but have Microsoft too
What happens is it sort the edges and just sits there.
Any suggestions?
Have you tried switching Java's / speed settings?
I tried different speeds, and different browsers, I'll try switching Java's and get back with you. I haven't had any trouble running it with Sun before, but I'll try.
Don't forget to reboot after switching javas. ;)

Thanks for the tip homer. I didn't know to do that. Without you, my computer would blow up.
Your welcome. :)
Yep homer, I did do a reboot, also checked advanced options and made sure the JIT compiler was checked it was not, so I checked it. I don't know if that was a problem or not, but it works well now. It's amazing what one little change can make.
Thanks
On VM the JIT Compiler does need to be checked. At least you got it running now. Good luck on the badge. ;)
Hi,
I just downloaded and tried the Jigsaw Detector 5.0 and it seems to work better than the other ones I have tried. Of course I could never get any of them to work right. This one starts out great and starts to put the frame together, but after it does two sides, it mistakenly grabs a piece of the frame and moves it, and then its game over. Any ideas as to how I can fix this? I am running
XP Pro
IE 6.0 and Mozilla
MS VM and Sun Java 1.50_02
32 bit
smooth fonts unchecked
1024 x 768
I have tried many combinations but Mozilla works the fastest. IE with MSVM works fine, but it takes almost 17 minutes to complete a puzzle, and it also messes up sometimes by grabbing the frame. Any suggestions?
Mine works very well (too well so I had to slow it down)
I run XP home
512 ram
32 bit colour
ms java
1074 x 768
minimise the ie browser and only have the actual game showing
smooth edges unchecked
Thanks for such a brilliant update (Joe?)
Zoomy, I'm just going to take a stab here...
Turn off your Sun Java and make sure all of your boxes are checked for MS VM...
I tried that jeffer, no difference. I guess i will just have to play them by hand until a better auto comes out, or at least one that will work on my system. By the way, all the other autos work fantastic. Keep up the good work! Thanks for your input jeffer.
Zommy try this go to Internet opitions and click the advanced tab. then scro;; down to where the java is and make sure the 3rd one is clicked the one that says JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled. And if you change it you must restart.
I already tried that. I tried checking them all, only checking JIT compiler, unchecking all of them and using only sun java, but nothing seems to work. Still grabs the frame and then it's game over. :'(
Sorry if I sound like a moron :-[ but I don't understand the two different kinds of Java I keep hearing about. And when I got to my advanced options, I only have one:
*Java (sun)
use JRE for <applet> (requires restart)
switch to the MSVM java>Internet Explorer>tools>internet options> advance tab> scroll down, remove the sun check mark. restart the computer and then try again, please.
I actually dl'd JVM and tried it on Mozilla and it runs for some reason. O0 thanks
Have fun! I am glad it is working for you.
Hi All
I run XP home
IE or mozilla
512 ram
32 bit colour
Both javas
1074 x 768
minimise the ie browser and only have the actual game showing
smooth edges unchecked
It always either sorts incorectly or grabs the fram of the puzzle. I feel that i have tryed everything please help me!
Two suggestions:
1. Up your resolution a notch.
2. Disable your sun java and make sure all of your MSVM option's are checked...
Good luck.
I'm having the same problem with it moving the frame. I've changed my screen resolution, but no luck. Anyone know why it's doing this? Thanks.
You need to post your computer specs, please.
Browser » Microsoft Internet Explorer
Screen Resolution » 800x600
Color Depth » 32 bit
Smooth Fonts* » Disabled
Have all that Java stuff turned on and had it on a different resolution before to see if it would work.
Try switching to 1024x768 resolution.
Did that earlier with no such luck.
What java settings do you have checked off?
all the microsoft ones are checked and sun is unchecked
Uncheck the first 2 options unders the Microsoft VM. Try it with only the JIT compiler checked. That's the setting I use and it works fine.
i founf it and did what you said thx all again
will give that a try really quick
It's still jerking it to the side. I unchecked those and tried it and then I tried it with the other screen resolution. I don't know why it's doing this.
By any chance are you moving the mouse after clicking start?
Try this:
Open the puzzle and the auto. Click start on the auto but be sure not to move the mouse at all.
Didn't move the mouse at all and it still moves it. It'll get the whole left side done and the bottom. However, when it starts in on the right side is when it moves.
Sorry. I'm stumped. Try emailing joe@badgehelp.com he might be able to help.
Thanks for your help. I'll send him an e-mail. The weird thing is that it worked on one computer, but when downloaded on another it starts moving. One computer had DSL and the other with dial up.
Your welcome. :)
all i get the bot to do is sort is that all its suposed to do?
or does it actually finish the puzzles? i have no clue
thanks,

Becky, it does not say anything on badgehelp.com if you need Windows XP to run this auto. Try the Search engine on this web site and see if it needs Windows XP to work on your computer. I did notice this information on badgehelp.com and I hope this helps.....
- Do not have anything else loaded or running in the background (close everything off)
- Turn off anything internet related (kazaa, file xfers, etc)
- On slow machines, try rebooting your computer first Please email me with any questions, comments, concerns or bug reports
it does need xp to work it, it didn't work for me til i upgraded less than a week ago
bummer i really hoped i could get it to work my new computer with xp crashed and cant fix it so im stuck with this old one and i dont see myself upgrading anytime soon but thx all for the help
becky
OK here's my 2 cents...lol
I found that most the versions of JD would grab the outside/border/frame of the puzzle also. What I found out is if you slow it down a bit it will work for you. It seems that for me that the JD 5.0 moves the pieces faster then they can move for my internet connection...just as the earlier versions have done. For this reason I slow the speed down a little bit. It seems that it doesn't have time to un-click the magnet if it is on the fastest setting so it actually clicks other stuff thinking it has un-clicked the magnet and that is why the frame gets clicked.
This is what I've noticed as far as my experience and I hope it helps you all out.
Keep up the great work BH & PC!!!
