 +==== 1. Application Blocked By Security Settings ==== 
 + 
 +You will receive this error if you have your Java security settings too high for Iceclient to run. Because I have not yet purchases a code signing certificate,​ the client is "​unsigned"​ code. This means it triggers additional warnings and restrictions. 
 + 
 +{{:​iceclient:​error-application-blocked.png|}} 
 + 
 +To fix this, you can either lower your Java security setting to **Medium**, or add a site exception for **http://​armouree.vm.bytemark.co.uk**. This is done in the [[iceclient:​javacontrolpanel|Java Control Panel]].

 +==== 2. Security Warning ====

 +You will receive this warning, again because there is no signed code.

 +This scary message is just a warning, and does not prevent the application from running. Simply click on the checkbox and press **Run**.

 +//​Don'​t blindly accept this. The warning is there for a reason making you question whether the code you are about to run is from a trusted source, i.e. me. All I can say is I have not knowingly included anything bad.//

In there, locate Temporary Internet Files, then the View button. From the window that pops up, you can remove installed Web Start applications. ​+  * Try removing the '​cached'​ application.
