[Bertie]

why the feck won't it work!!!

 

apparently it is installed on my computer, yet no java applets seem to work. in the bottom left corner it says java applet loading failed or something similar

 

i have been trying to fix it for the past hour and have, so far, failed miserably

 

anyone got any productive ideas?

i have reinstalled java once which took me a good half hour to do! it wouldnt have any of it

 

im on firefox. i dont see how reinstalling it will help, as java isnt just for applets

[Bertie]

no one got any ideas?

redownload it from here -http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp and run the installer? Also, check your security settings on your antivirus, as sometimes these can block applets.

In firefox:

 

Tools>Options>Content>Enable Java

 

?

Are any of you using the noscript plugin for firefox? that blocks most of the java/flash stuff on websites until you allow them. Look for a blue "S" in a white circle in the bottom right of the browser.

Remember Java and JavaScript are different things - you might have installed one and tried to play with the other?

neither of those are the problem. its starting to get rather tedious...

Firstly try this website and see if it's installed correctly:

http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1

 

If not:

Download and install (MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT ADMIN RIGHTS): http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=18713

 

Reboot.

 

Try the first step again.

 

 

If it still fails it's either your firewall blocking java from sending/recieving or its not in the classpath. I'd assume it's the former as you say you get the applet 'starting' in the lower right.

Odd... It shouldn't close FF....

 

So it's installed and deteted correctly, which leads to the belief that its your firewall that's blocking it. Either the windows one or you've one on your router. Or as tiny_clanger mentioned its your anti-virus system stopping them from running. In which case try disabling it and checking if it works.

 

Summary, Try:

1) Firewall (disable).

2) Antivirus (disable).

3) Try with IE and make sure the jre is the latest version.

 

After each one check to see if you still have the problem.

 

 

Edit: I'd also run a quick check with adaware and spybot just to make sure there's nothing nasty on your system. HijackThis will give you a full list of all programs running.
