JAVA-7 is BAD!!---dump--reload JAVA-6

I couldn't get in any Pogo games for about 30 minutes. Must be Pogo upgrades, 

I'm on the old Java and still had the problem. I know the Java update has been causing issues everywhere for a few weeks.

You didn't say what your system is so this is for Windows 7. Click on the start button and enter JAVA. That will give you an icon for your Java. Double click on that icon and you get the Java Control Panel. One of the tabs is UPDATE. Click on that and you can choose when they notify you about an update. Your settings must be at CHECK AUTOMATICALLY. Uncheck that box and you will get a warning popup saying YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO NEVER CHECK and then gives you the choice of weekly or never. Click on the never and you will not get any notice of new updates. Then you can wait til others quit complaining about the update and it would be safe to download it!

   Thanks from me too disneyland lady, I was wondering how to do that too!

The "never" option is not available to me.  The best I can do is "monthly".  I have XP on this old laptop.

Thanks Disneyland for the info & i do have Windows 7. So now all i have to do is remember all this. watch me 4get & have too come back LOL

I too have XP on my backup laptop so I went in search cuz it does not have the Java icon in the Control Panel except in the Add/Remove. I found that it is hidden inside the Java folder in your program files. Go here: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin and you will see a bunch of stuff but also that little coffee cup icon of Java. Clicking on that will give you the Java Control Panel AND under UPDATES.... that box to uncheck for the automatic updates. Now my laptop will not get auto updates thanks to your mentioning this.

Thanks, Dis.  I did it and turned off updates although "NEVER" was not a word choice.  Anyway, thanks very much.  I'll be happy not to get those annoying pop-ups.  xoxoxo

  Anybody have any idea why my games won't load tonight?

Running win/7 on one and XP on the other (both in Classic View).
Seem to be having a lot of trouble loading games lately .. just me???

I have been trying to get into Omaha Poker all day and it won't load.....first time that has happened.  I think Pogo is screwing around again with something.                          Hopefully all problems will get fixed before the year 2013.

Is that the only game you can't load, Yoming??  I'm having trouble with a lot of the games not loading ...

[Yoming 2]

There are lots and I do mean lots of complaints about the games not loading in the Pogo forum.   People are trying to get things worked out by cleaning their cache, reinstalling Java, changing browsers and all sorts of stuff, but nothing is working so it must be a BIGTIME Pogo issue.   

Again I guess the only thing to do is wait until the problem gets solved.  Hopefully soon.

Well I have been having trouble for weeks now with Java I cant open any games tonite it just says loading and never does.I am one  of the ones that probably updated Java though cause of so much trouble..How do I get rid of update 7 and get back to #6 ? I am not very good on computers.I will try though    Java this is for you

Wow great ... lots of replies!!  Thanks so much everyone!!  And I'm sorry you're all having problems too.  I guess that's my FIRST clue, lol.

Now today and tonight (Saturday) I don't seem to be having any loading issues so far.  Yesterday and last night were a complete BUST! I downloaded JAVA ... (more than once, because it requested JAVA over and over again) cleaned out cache, JAVA files, temp files, restarted puter, went from IE browser to Google Chrome and back again ... and nothing made the slightest difference.  Finally after many hours of frustration I realized there was nothing I could do could do to resolve the issue.  The issue really belonged to EA Sports, not me.  So I tried something I hadn't before ~ and it resolved itself immediately. 

I turned off the puter and went to bed!
