I have not had any problems with 7-15 until I tried Spades yesterday.  I would have stayed with my 6-38 but I was forced to update.  I haven't played Canasta in a long time.  I don't know how well 7-15 does in that game.

I just tried to play canasta with my java 1.7.0_13 and it played fine on IE. 
I don't know if everyone is doing this, but I have 4 browsers that I use to play pogo games.  If one doesn't work, I try another.  So far one of the 4 will eventually allow me to play.

Also try going to the UK side.  I have found that if I have too many problems I just switch and it lets me play just fine.

Make sure to check that only one version of Java is installed.

XP / Vista --> Control Panel / Add & Remove Programs

Win 7 / 8 --> Control Panel / Programs and Features

If multiple versions of Java is showing, you will need to uninstall them and reboot your computer.

I just played a game of Canasta and I'm running Java 7 update 15. It worked fine for me, I'm on IE 8. I don't know if this makes a difference or not but over the weekend, I also had a "Flash Player" update. My pc was acting weird before that update. And yes, I only have the one version of Java on my pc.

Good Luck Everyone.

I guess they just skipped 16. lol. Haven't tried 17 yet, but will later tonight.

Updated to Java 7 17, no major problems yet. I waiting for it though.

Played a game of Canasta, it was a bit mess up at first but started to cooperate after I closed it out and came back in.

Used 17 last night and had no issue. I'm sure it'll take a day or two for someone to find an exploit in it though, and it'll be hit and miss on whether it works until 18 is released. Absolutely hate Java.
