Thanks!

 

quick question? if your java is set to auto update. do updates such as this get installed. my sound a stupid ? but thought i would ask anyway:confused

 

i just checked it out i went into control panel and went to java then hit update and it did install Version 6 Update 3. so i take it it does auto update.

 

I don't have that update yet. But, regarding the comments here, it will happen automatically but not until the 15th day of the month unless I intervene and get the update sooner. Here's my Java Control Panel. Yours look the same, right?



And, it's not necessary to uninstall the last version before installing the new update. That can be done afterward.

 

not sure why that is Kestrel. what happens when you right click the java in controle panel then open? i get the java control panel.

 

Hi i am running XP Pro and can't find Java control panel. In control panel -java the only options are change or remove. I ran a search for it and came back with no results. can someone tell me how to get to it?

Thanks,
Dan

 

In my control panel i have:
Java runtime envirment, SE v1.4.2_03
Java(TM) 6 Update 2
Should i have anything else?

Thanks,
Dan

 

Thats right Emma

If I double click on the Java icon in control Panel it opens the Java control panel. (does not appear in the notification area or system tray as it used to be known)

or

If I right click on the Java icon in control Panel and select 'open' I get exactly the same result

 

in control panel did you click on classic view? this could be why you cant see it.

 

yes Wildwolf that was the problem. I found it yesterday afternoon i'm always forgeting about that.
Thanks,
Dan
