JAVA Problems?

[snowflower]

   I've been having problems with my games freezing and things just weren't right.  After a host of "cleaning" without result, I've now uninstalled the new java 13 download and am back on the old java --- NOW it's resolved.  Anyone else having problems that sound ilke mine lately?  Java 13???

I have the new Java 13 and the games actually play better.

You might want to check your Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. I find that (with the exception of this new version) it doesn't auto uninstall any of the older versions when you update it. I had 5-6 revisions sitting in mine - and once I got rid of all the older versions, it was back to smooth sailing.

Also, make sure you reboot the computer any time you do the update. That's an important step that most people forget to do.

  WOW Mayhem--I went in and uninstalled TWO remaining java's (5-6 and 6-7).  I didn't think about that and I guess I really should have.  Cuz I seem to remember the "tiki brothers" did hit on something along those lines about a year ago or so.  Now let's see what damage I can do. lol  TY for your support Mayhem, tis appreciated!

Mine says Sun Java 6, installed April of 2008. It's set to automatically update. I'm running Vista.

   Okk I'm back and I've played every game that was sticking or freezing.  Woohoo what a difference!!  Super good lesson -- pogo doesn't like to deal with more than one version of java.  Run ONLY the latest version and uninstall any others hanging round in there!!  Yeeeeesssssss ty ty Mayhem!!
