Java

jasmin10

I know nothing about Java so please bear with me.

Sometimes when I click to go on some website I get a message saying that windows is trying to close the current window do you basically want to close it or retry. I retry and a window comes up in my browers saying connect without java script...... and then it takes me to my chosen website.

Not sure if these two things are related but again when going onto website, not all the time my text goes big and changes to Times New Roman.

I did notice the other day when downloading something it said my Java is out of date do I want to update and I chose no as I wasn't sure what it was or if it was something iffy.

Can someone tell me if all these things are to do with this Java and how do I update it. I'm on Vista by the way.

You can reinstall Java here. http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
It should ask if you want to update at some point (there may be security critical updates), it'll probably try again automatically at some point anyway. Just say yes next time. Unfortunately it's unlikely to be related to your browser problems, not least of which is that Java has got nothing to do with Javascript. They only share a name because of links in their development history but they're quite different beasts. I'd just check that you've got the latest security updates from microsoft and make sure everything is set back to default in the options in the menu of Internet Explorer (assuming that's the browser you're using).

Long time no speak Superscraper. Thank you for that I will download the update. Everything else is updated on my laptop so I will see how I go.

Thank you
