Problem with Java 6 Update 11 (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Yesterday an automatic update of Java was installed on my computer. Since
that time, I've been unable to play any of the online games that were played with the previous version of Java (specifically on Pogo and Yahoo). I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java several times without luck. In trying to diagnose what's wrong, I came upon a way to ensure that Java is enabled and working. However, it says to go to IE (I have version 7) - tools-manage add-ons-enable/disable add-ons. It also says to make sure the "Show" drop-down menu is set to "add-ons currently loaded". I do not get a "show drop down menu. Is there something wrong with IE? I guess I have 2 questions: (1) can anyone help me with Java? (2) Is there something wrong with IE that I can't see the add-on list? Thank you for whatever help you can give. I'm a total novice here. |

I'm a total novice here. 1) - Uninstall all versions of Javain ControlPanel -- Add or Remove Programs. - Reboot - Download the full version of the Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 11 and install it. - Reboot - Try your web pages again. 2) No idea - may be fixed by doing #1 suggestions. Download the Offline Installer for "Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)", latest version...
