JAVA PROBLEMS (sorry - I made this up in Word with Screen Shots of what I see through this process but I do not know how to post Screen Shots here)
Dell Inspiron 1420 – Vista – Microsoft Security Essentials – Internet Explorer
Java was downloaded and working but then stopped working. It has always worked before and now suddenly will not work. Java was on the taskbar but has disappeared. Have downloaded Java several times today.
When first downloaded the symbol/icon is on the taskbar but then goes away after a minute - do not know if Java works during that minute??
Going to TOOLS – INTERNET OPTIONS – ADVANCE – I do not see Java anywhere on the list.
Opening Control Panel I see Java is there. Goes away when I uninstall - back again when I install.
Going to Programs and Features Java is there and I have uninstalled several times to download again and again.
In Windows Firewall Settings I cannot find a way to add Java to Exceptions. I have browsed but then Java does not show up in Programs in a way that allows me to add it to Exceptions in Firewall.
When I click Java Control Panel and Default Java for Browsers there is a check by Microsoft Internet Explorer but the words are semi transparent - not black like other words - telling me it is not on for some reason???
When I verify that Java is installed and working I get this from the Java website….
And a window opens showing this information…….
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21
Using JRE version 1.6.0_21-b07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Users\BrianSue
----------------------------------------------------
c: clear console window
f: finalize objects on finalization queue
g: garbage collect
h: display this help message
l: dump classloader list
m: print memory usage
o: trigger logging
q: hide console
r: reload policy configuration
s: dump system and deployment properties
t: dump thread list
v: dump thread stack
x: clear classloader cache
0-5: set trace level to <n>
----------------------------------------------------
At first the Java icon/symbol is on the Taskbar but after about a minute it goes away. Each time I ask the Java website to verify the icon comes back and the above window opens again but then after about a minute the icon disappears again.
There and not there
My guess is this is some sort of security or firewall issue that I cannot find. No warnings or alerts pop up to tell me that security has detected anything or is doing anything.
