394234 2005-10-07 07:24:00 Canadian friend appears to have a java problem. She uses Win 98 (yes, I know, some still do and get by very well).

Downloaded sun java, to enable her to play in one game site (ionthunder) then found she was unable to play certain games in pogo. Am not sure if she has microsoft java loaded as well, but would the two conflict?

She has tried uninstalling sun java and re-loading with any noticeable improvement.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks, Marnie

The answer, go to Control Panel, in there is an applet for java. Somewhere in that applet is a setting where you can empty temp files.
Hope this works for you :)

If it works np, if not, come back and let us know.

Incidentally, my partner knows of 2 people overseas who had this issue, one reformatted her comp :( ... the other like me was technically minded so had an idea where the problem lay

I think she keeps most of her pc "housekeeping" up to date, but will mention that, too.
