That's ok. O0

I'm not sure about the aol browser thing. Try running it in good ole regular Internet Explorer.

To check your java (mine is brewing now hehe  :P)

Go to control panel

Double click Internet Properties
Click on the advanced tab
Scroll down a little and you will see:
Java(Sun) put a check in the box under it to use java
Micrisoft VM (only put a check mark next to JIT compiler)
Click apply
Click ok
Restart your pc

Hope this helps. O0

[mam]

hi homer,

i cant find anything thats says java (sun)

but microsoft vm is ticked next to jit compiler only

[Homer]

Go to http://www.java.com/ and click the yellow get it now button. That could be your problem. O0

[mam]

i got that downloading now.................

i got all other autos to work and all pogo gmaes to work with just the java i had

so can you explain to me simply what a java is and what it does and why i need the sun java pls

when i used used internet explorer as my browser and i went into pogo i went into a non members forum..........usually in aol i type search for club pogo and opens straight onto my members page with messages ect...........why didint IE do that??

one other thing.................sorry to be such a computer illiterate pain lol  :-[

[mam]

omg.................i got a message from java sun saying


the installer cannot proceed with the current internet connection proxy settings. please check the installation notes for more information

does that mean something lol

[eminem]

i was thinking of a couple of things.  1st seeing as how this auto is not a complete auto yet, it could be that it won't work until they fix it, and also maybe this auto only works on windows 95 and 98 and not on xp yet.  just a couple of thoughts.... >:D O0

[mam]

im following instructions for an offline download ???

i think im getting there .............i will let you know

hey im gonna be computer whizz lmao

i thought all my puter had was aol, pogo and ebay lol  ;) :o ::) :-[

Java is......

Developed by Sun Microsystems, Java is a programming language that is specifically designed for writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer through the Internet and immediately run without fear of viruses or other harm to your computer or files. Using small Java programs (called "Applets"), Web pages can include functions such as animations, calculators, and other fancy tricks. Java is a simple, robust, object-oriented, platform-independent multi-threaded, dynamic general-purpose programming environment. It is best for creating applets and applications for the Internet, intranets and any other complex, distributed network.

Sorry can't answer your browser question. I don't have aol. :-\
