nikster Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 This should fix it: - Uninstall Java (all versions - it sometimes likes to install various version in parallel) - Go go Java.com, download and install the latest You really don't want to have an outdated Java version as those are being targeted specifically by malware. They're a barn door for trojans and viruses. So either ban Java from your system. Or install the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Do i really need Java? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1950 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Do i really need Java? If you have Windows 7, Not really. I ditched it a couple of years ago. IE9 and Firefox supports Java Scripts now. If you have an application that requires it, it will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 ok thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 ok thanks Exactly. It's perfectly safe to uninstall. If some website needs it it will redirect you to the Java install page. If an application needs it, it will install it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hml367 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have had some beta versions of browsers that will not install Java. The file downloads and says it is installing, but it is not there. I went back to IE like I normally do. MSPain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
