Sketches won't run without internet access, even with preferences set to not "check for updates"

edited December 2013 in Using Processing

Hello, I am new to Processing, and can't seem to get any sketch (even the simplest) to work without Internet access. I am running version 2.1 on Windows 8 64 bit, and unchecked the "check for updates on startup" box. The sketches will work if exported. I was wondering what I may be doing wrong.

    Processing's IDE communicates w/ its running compiled program thru' the network!
    So it can stop it if the IDE's stop button is clicked for example!

  • Thanks GoToLoop. After I posted the question, I tried it on my wife's MACBook and it seems to work with or w/o internet - is the communication method different on Mac?

    Firewalls block network communications! Better check there 1st! :-B

  • Thanks for your help, GoToLoop!
