Java and Chat (in Off-topic)

Simply put, CB is not reading my java. It's there. I can do anything else that requires java except for talking in carnage. So basically... why? I know it exists on the computer. But CB not reading it. How can I fix this?

"How can I fix this?"

I have insufficient extrasensory perception powers to help you with that.

Bart, stop pretending you're human !

Anyway - do we have issues with the latest version of Java? I seem to recall someone saying something about Java 6 not being good on CB and it's best to stick with Java 5 ?

I myself have the occasional problem with chat, but I recently went through some PC maintenance and updated my Java to the latest version. No chat problems since...

What version of Java do you use GW ?

Try uninstalling/reinstalling Java. It worked for me.

I'd be interested to hear opinion on whether CB prefers the latest Java or an older version first though before suggesting an uninstall.

That said, I followed the same route Mem suggested and it worked for me too :)

The newest version of Java would never work for me (On CB), on any computers I tried. The second latest, though, works like a charm.
