Fix Hyperion 8.5 Aero Theme Warning on Windows 7

Hyperion Suite 8.5 needs Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 to run the application. When we run the Hyperion applications such as Analyzer, Planning, or Reports on Windows 7 there is an Aero Theme warning that will automatically set the display to the Basic Windows Theme. This issue is happens because of the DirectDraw bugs of JRE 1.4.2.

To solve the issue, we should disable the DirectDraw on the Java parameter:
1) Go to the Control Panel.
2) Open the Java 32 settings screen.
3) Set the JRE Parameter on Advanced tab to:
-Xms128m -Xmx128m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true

Click OK to save the changes and restart your browser.
This will solve the issue.

Display Hyperion Planning 8.5 menu on IE 8

In my experience, Windows 7 with Internet Explorer (IE) 8 have compatibility problem with some old applications. One application that has problem is Hyperion Planning 8.5 that will not display the menu after successful logon.

To fix the problem, set the IE 8 option:
1) Open Tools menu / Internet Options / Advanced tab / Security
2) Clear: Enable native XMLHTTP support

Click OK to save the changes, and restart your IE browser.
This will solve the problem.
