Last night Computing Services upgraded all campus computers from Java 7 to Java 8. If a computer was not on during the time of the install and does not yet have Java 8 you may receive the following error message:
“Internet Explorer has blocked this website from installing an Active X control”
To fix the issue please install Java 8 from the Software Center.
You may have a shortcut on the desktop for the Software Center. If you do not, you can find it in:
Start > All Programs > Microsoft System Center > Configuration Manager > System Center.
Under the “Available Software” tab, select Java 8 update 51, then select install. Note, any open web browsers will close as part of the installation.
Once the install is complete you should be able to log into Banner.
Thanks!
