Sun Java - Critical Security Release

I have Java Sun Platform 2 which installed onto my PC. What the heck is it? Should I take it off? Will this mess up my Java settings if I rmeove it?

 

I was trying last night to get my update. It was taking over 5 hours and I finally had to stop it by going offline. I only connect at 28.8.
I looked this morning for the automatic update? I can't find it.
This morning, I am getting an update from windows, so won't be able to do this one till later.

Thanks.

I am running the JRE.x updating to Update 6

 

I don't know why I didn't think of checking there myself. One of those answers that are right in front of my nose.

Thanks

Gal

 

i have update six is that the newest re or do ihave to update again can you post the link please thanks in advance

 

whens the next update

 

i can't install java2 it just stays on the installer and i have ran spyware remover whats the deal ?

 

Appreciate the news regarding the update to further block hackers but I never understood what SunJava is? This is the application I had on my Dell XPS....Java Runtime Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java Runtime Version 1.5.0_01 You do NOT have the latest version of Java.
The latest version of Java software = Version 5.0 Update 6. Nick, is clear terms, what does it do for the ordinary home user?

 

How do I get to the Java Control Panel?

 

can somebody post the link to the next update when java releases it

 

Thank you Nick...

 

I have a Java Plug-in Icon which when I try to open gives me a window which says that it cannot find the registry key specified:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.2

What do I need to do?

 

OK. I did the download but when I try to install it, I get the Java Installer window and it looks like it is installing but nothing happens. Got any idea what the problem might be?

 

OK. I did that and it installed Ok so I guess we have that settled. Thanks for all your time and trouble!!

 

Hi Nick, do I need to turn "on" the Java Control Console to install the update

Thanks
Joe

 

Thanks for the quick reply

 

Nick, do you think your beta would help my problem here?

Still no go. No Java Web start anywhere, though. Is that a problem?

 

It's there. Here is the screen.

 

Done and reinstalled. The Java icon was in the system try for about a minute, then, when I tried a Java site, it didn't work and the icon went away. I rebooted and the icon isn't coming back and sites still don't work.

 

Do you have Norton Internet Security installed?

I am having the exact same problem as Draklaa. In Tools, Internet Options, Advanced it is checked next to Sun Java Use JRE 1.50_06 for <applet> requires restart. Restart has no affect. Icon also comes and goes. I uninstalled through add and remove programs everything that said Java except JRE 1.50_06 after downloading Sun Java. I use AVG, AD-aware, Spybot, and SpywareBlaster with XP home edition on an AMD Sempron 2500 machine.

 

Yes, that is what mine shows.

 

No, Norton went away a few days ago, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java since then. And I didn't have Norton Internet Security, I had Norton AntiVirus 2003.

 

I would disable any Ad Blocking features you might have running and see if that helps.

If not, run the Rnav2003.exe removal utility here, http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3077 see if that solves it. Here is a link from Symantec if you need it. http://service1.symantec.com/support/nav.nsf/docid/2001092114452606

Uninstalled the beta version and installed that last link you posted. Java icon now pops into the system tray if I pull up the Sun Java Console and stays there until I close my browser, but no Java sites are working still.

Also, I can't reinstall Microsoft's VM since I have SP2, so if I can't get this working I am basically screwed.

 

NICK,

I didn't mean to interfere in your thread, just wanted to mention some issues that might cause a problem.

Tried using the link provided to the older version but I couldn't connect to the server. So I uninstalled Sun Java, rebooted, and reinstalled the latest and greatest (not the beta version). Everything seems to be working at the moment. Went to several sites to check and Java worked on every page. Must not have like me deleting the old versions after installing the new? Anyway thanks for the help.

Good Luck Draklaa getting this sorted out on your system! Try uninstalling all Java, rebooting, then reinstall.

 

my runtime settings are JRE 1.5.0_06 is that current please?
