Another reason NOT to update Java.

I turn my auto update off on Java, and usually wait to see how many problems others have with the latest release before I update....it is the old if ain't broke thing :)))

Where did you find version 5 to reload?

Go into your control panel, java and choose the update tab and just uncheck the update box.

Mistyeyed · January 10, 2009, 11:00:08 AM

Squid..i just went to the java site and theres a link for older versions..click on that..

Squid · January 10, 2009, 11:57:42 AM

ahh, tyvm

You may also want to check your Control Panel : Add / Remove Programs

Everytime you update your Java, it doesn't uninstall the previous versions. That could also give you problems with playing the Pogo games.

ever since i uninstall version 6 and installed version 5 its been working okay...my computer is about four years old now so maybe it cant handle all that new and updated stuff...

Does anyone know if s it safe to delete previous versions of java in control panel? I see a couple other versions and have always wondered if it's safe to delete. Thanks for any info regarding this.

Mistyeyed · January 12, 2009, 08:24:40 AM

i deleted the version 6 to install version 5...i dont think it hurts to delete all the previous ones..

Squid · January 12, 2009, 01:47:51 PM

I think multiple copies can only confuse the issue. I've deleted all but the latest and I think my Java problems are fewer.

Always have ONE and only ONE version of SUN JAVA on your computer.

If you double-browse, Internet Explorer and Apple Safari (for VISTA) work great on same Java. Google Chrome is too funky right now. I have not tried anything else.

Squid · January 15, 2009, 08:37:32 AM

Grrrr, I'm getting the Java error messages again but they only seem to be associated with Penguin Blocks. I can't wait to have that game ranked out. Can't happen fast enough for me.

Yes, I only have one version of JAVA.

I think BH should look at some of the older autos, they have not been updated in well over a year and really don't work correctly with newer Java. Penguin Blocks auto was last updated in August of 2007.

Maybe stick in a GO FOR COMBINATIONS setting, too?
