Troubleshooting Java
Uninstall Old Java Installations
Java errors and problems with automatic Java updates are not uncommon complaints. For this reason the easiest way to begin troubleshooting your Java issue is to remove all the Java programs that are on your system so that you can download and install a clean version. Java isn’t always good about running multiple versions, so it is important that you remove all the old files and folders. First, use Add/Remove by opening the Start Menu, clicking Control Panel and then Add and Remove Programs (in Windows Vista, Add and Remove Programs is now called Programs and Features). Find all the Java listings and press Remove and then reboot your computer.
Run a Registry Scan
Next, you should run a registry scan to remove all the left behind bits of code that are clogging up your registry and slowing down your system, as well as any Java code that might be interfering with your program. Over time and with regular use, computers store bits of data on the registry to aid the loading and reloading of pages but that can accumulate on the registry. Registry scans are a good addition to any regular computer maintenance routine. Filetonic recommends an inexpensive utility called RegCure.
Download and Install a New Version of Java
Now, you should get a new copy of the full Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 11 download and follow all the instructions to install it.
Java Error Message
If you are getting an error message that reads “Java Not Found or Not Working” while playing games on Pogo, there could be a problem with your antivirus program compatibility, especially if you are running Norton. Some antivirus programs think that Pogo games are Adware, and so refuse them access. If this is your issue, you can configure your security program to allow Pogo games, which might bring other risks.
Delete Temporary Internet Files
It is also possible that you have a flawed file saved in your Temporary Internet Files. Your computer saves versions of web pages so that it can quickly reopen pages that you are re-visiting unless they have been updated. If there is an interruption while the computer is saving the page, it can result in an error that interferes with the normal browsing. Before you remove your stored Internet cache you should realize that it will also remove all of your saved passwords and user names so you might want to make copies of this information.
To delete the Temporary Internet Files, first close any open windows and quit Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer.
- Click Start, then choose Control Panel, then click twice on Internet Options
- Select the tab called General, then Temporary Internet Files, then Delete Files
- When you are offered to delete all offline content, check the corresponding box and then click OK
- Click OK again and then reboot your computer.
