java problem

15 years ago

My computer info:

Windows XP

Media Center Edition

Version2002

Service pack 3

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor

3500+

2.21GHz 960 MB of Ram

Today I had a firefox update. When Firefox came back on none of my card programs will load. I have java 6 update 22.

I'm sure it is a Java problem.. I had just updated my java a couple of week or so ago.

Do I just take Java off by using add/delete & download it again? Where is the best place to download it? I have always hated to mess with Java :(

I sure miss my card games.

go to control panel then to the java icon (coffee cup) double click it and click updates so it will search for updates if it finds one let it install it and do not do any of the extra toolbars etc. It now removes the old one when it installs the new one.

I download my Java from Filehippo.com and do a manual installation. I have never had a concern.

If I am not mistaken v22 is the current version.

there is one on our property,luckily it doesn't sit near pavement and we have had no spreading. BUTwe bought this house right after 04 hurricanes and it had busted right in half.On our property that was no big deal as we have a few acres and it was NOT near a house. My hubby wants it as it is a GREAT privacy screen. It is as tall as ever now. The grandkids climb(only to wear it broke,it made a cool shelf)They also play underneath as it makes a fun secret playhouse. The Giant Leopard moths and other creatures find refuge in it. So,there are my thoughts.I have lost over 15 mature Laurel oaks to disease and all my HUGE slash pines to borers so I am hesitant to remove anything thats not causing a problem(I did remove ALL pepper trees and Australian pines though)and am planting a few of every tree i can,mostly natives good luck tanya

Script problem

When the java problem happened I deleted jscript thinking it was java. It only effected 2 of my games and I didn't play them anymore. I don't think that is what caused the problem because it has worked fine until 2 days ago and the Java threat was a few weeks back. I reinstalled the games hoping they would install it, but they did not. I find that my some of my settings have been changed and I did not change them. I notice them after I use CCleaner. I googled the problem and found that there are more bugs in CC than there have been before. They even mentioned the one I had with MS Security Essentials. I did not find any complaints there about jscript.

Â Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser. Â Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.

DA I didn't see your post till I wrote.
I don't have the computer knowledge most of U have. I have installed Java before though with help from here.

It appears to me I have to delete Java before I can do anything.. sure won't do it though till I get an OK.

I just called Charter & was told they are doing work in my area & have been since 10:30 this morning. This sounds almost the same problem my son has a few days ago. We live in 2 different states. I hope mine don't go completely down like his did.
I'll let U know when & IF it is fixed.

yes you can uninstall Java then re-download, simply type Java into your search then go get it..

I was just sitting close to the computer & my mail popped on.. I checked & it is working again.. at least mostly. it isn't loading java in my java game. I checked in control panel & it says I have the latest Java. That is where this whole problem showed it's ugly face 1st. I also don't have the latest FireFox. Where is the best place to download that.
One other problem I see is my ZoneAlarm has an arrow & says update is running. It was like that when NOTHING worked. I have no idea what is going on. I was ready to get it formated Monday.. wonder if that is still a good idea but I sure hate to think of all the work getting things back.

I only have 19.7 GB of free space in drive C so afraid to add much to it. I have a lot of free space in drive E. If I want to install something can I put it on drive E? I don't
think so. When I was gonna have it formated I was gonna have them take out the partition.

What is going on with my computer? OH yes, I scanned & don't have a virus.

Did you also run a full scan with Malwarebytes? Please do so then you can start fixing knowing the computer is clean.

Yes you can indeed install programs on your D: drive. The computer will note this in the registry and place the needed drivers on the C: too. How large is the C: partition?

You might also run a check disk. Click Start, click Run type chkdsk /f note the space after chkdsk. You will be told this will happen at the next computer start and you type yes and hit Enter. Restart the computer.

I finally woke up & rebooted..that wasn't the original problem as I rebooted many times. Anyway java is fine now..ZoneAlarm is fine..Firefox installed 3.6.12 so all is now fine..sure hope it stays that way. I have no idea what happened..don't guess it really matters now.
Thanks for all the replies..
