Java Problem

s1nglef1sh · 10-06-2008, 04:07 PM

Hi there! New to the forum and hope you'll be able to help.

I'm having trouble with Java....not sure what I did but now when I visit a page that requires it, it tells me I need the Java Runtime Environment.

This was all fine before but has now decided to stop working

I'm sure I did something but not sure what.

When I check within 'Add/Remove Programs' 2 Java entries are there: 'Java 2 Runtime Environment SE v1.4.2_03' and 'Java (TM) 6 update 7'.

When I've been directed to the Java site to update/download what is required, it says 'We encountered an issue while trying to automatically install Java software onto your machine.' and I can't update...

Please help, I'm pulling my hair out!!

Thanks

Try uninstalling the versions in your Add/Remove, then re-download.

Thanks for the reply. I tried this initially but couldn't unistall either. However, I used a seperate Uninstaller and have unistalled both. The only problem is that it still won't allow me to download!!

Any other ideas?

Download Java software from Sun Microsystems

That page wont allow you to download?

Have you tried downloading with a different browser? Such as Firefox instead of IE or vice versa.

It didn't...up until a minute ago.. I was getting a strange error code....looked it up with Sun and there was a fix!!

Thanks guys for the quick replies, much appreciated

I'll maybe try harder myself next time before bothering the pro's!!
