Hi, dont know if any1 will be able to help with this cos i cant find any info by searching the web. A couple of weeks ago something went wrong with my comp and it had to restore to an earlier known good point. Since then i havent been able to use any java applets like in chat rooms and games, which worked fine b4 hand. I have tried everything suggested, checking my java settings in IE, and tried downloading a new version of java, but still no success. Can any1 suggest anything that might help with this? Thanks if u can
I have excactly the same problem, my computer recently went down and had to be started up again through computer settings as windows wouldnt start, the next day i realised i was unable to use applets or java files! all i get is a grey block. Need help!
Do you have the Java Plug-in Control in your Control Panel? Check under the Advanced tab to be sure you are using the correct version of Java and that it is enabled for your browser. If you have to reinstall Java, make sure you remove it all, delete the Java dir in Program Files, also get the cache file in C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\.jpi_cache. If a .jar file or something was corrupt it might still be there after an uninstall/reinstall if you do not manually remove all of the files. You can tell what version you are running by going to a command prompt and typing java -version
Have tried those tips but still no joy. Im beginning to think its a lost cause as I seem to have tried every piece of advice i can find on the subject.
I have tried the advice but i did'nt understand the C:\documents and settings\"username"\.jpi_cache bit, i removed every bit of java i could see, then visited the game i wanted to play, instead of the java logo (you know the one with a red square, orange circle and red square in a white box) in the corner i had a red square and a messeage asking me to install the java console, i did and it still does'nt work i have java installed ( i think )and its just the java corner logo again!!!
