Hey guys,

I'm trying to update Java to 1.7, but its not working… I've tried everything, deleted all previous versions, Used third party installers, etc. etc., but Java still doesn't work. Under Control Panel/Java, it says 1.7 is downloaded and enabled, but no Java applets(RS, Tribot, Java "Check if you have Java" Applet) work. If someone could TV or Skype me and help me set it up, theres 2m with your name on it!

Footy

When you find out why and fix it, you mind posting the solution?
I only ask because my friends computer (new laptop) wont run anything with java. Little errors always pop up so he just went back to his old one. If I knew how to fix it I would so now I am open to suggestions/solutions.

I could help, just tell the details of the computer. (OS, how old, memory, etc)
When was the last time you successfully installed Java.
And does it say it installs properly?

tried checking the environmental variables?

Windows 7, its an acer computer, 3GB of RAM. Probably about 2 years old now. I have never sucessfully installed JAVA 1.7, but I can install java 1.6 easily, using the exact same procedures. It says it installed sucessfully just like when I install 1.6.

No Idea what those are. Care to explain? :)

Do your clients work? Try all of them. If none of them work, plus in browser ones don't work, which version of 1.7 are you using, did you try others?

Nothing using Java works in either browsers. I'm on the latest version of java off Java.com.

I have an idea, try opening powerbot through run.bat see what cmd prints?

Go to: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

Click the 'Test the currently installed…'

PrintSCR. I need to see exactly what it says.

Lol just left the house… I'll reply when I get home.

I've never used Powerbot…

I downloaded it and got a .jar file. Whereabouts would I find the .bat file?

2M still up for grabs! I'm on windows 7 32 bit running latest java online x86 version.

See, this is what I needed! I have a fairly good Idea what could be causing this.

If this isn't it, please post!

That 2m is mine :P

Have you ever installed a JDK on it, then uninstalled?
Problem with Java is that if you used to play Runescape on Java 6 and then updated to a JDK, which you later uninstalled, the system completely forgets you had Java 6 in the first place.

Uninstall anything labelled 'Java' in Programs and Features, then install from the "get java" website

Unless of course you deleted Java's files from /Program Files/ without removing the registry keys, in which case you'd have to go through your registry deleting any mention of Java…

This one?

Hei Roger,
thanks for your reply. It pointed me to the right direction. In fact the problem was that I was connected on VPN (CISCO) while accessing pages with java. Since Java 7, there is a problem due to Ipv6 (http://jonathangiles.net/blog/?p=1126). So I disabled it from the VPN connection and added this line to the java runtime parameters:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Now it's ok

BR,
Richard

A) I'm not running a VPN
B) I'm using IPV4, not IPV6
C) Not using any proxies
D) Not sure how do edit Java Runtime Parameters. :p

I did used to have a JDK, and I uninstalled it. I've tried deleting every java related file, but I'll try again. Do I actually have to go through my registry manually and delete all Java related stuff? I have a program called JavaRa, and it says it deletes all java related things for me, not sure if it does registry though.

Why don't you try downloading and installing both java 32bit and 64bit? Somepeople get it fixed through that, still looking though!

Attempting now!
E: Online or Offline x86?
E2: Trying offline…

Tell me if it works!!

It told me 64 bit Java wasn't compatible with my computer. Still recieving the same error with 32 bit offline Java.

Hmm, I know you can install 32 bit on 64, thought it could go vice versa :P
Are you sure you are not running the CISCO Vpn client?
Also, check your firewall settings, do you get it to work if FW is disabled?

I don't think I'm using any VPN, not intentionally anyways. I am using a Cisco router though if that makes any difference…

I am using a firewall, I'll disable it in the morning and let you know what happens, its getting late.

Firewall did nothing, 2M still up for grabs. I'd like to let everyone know now that I now have these versions of Java on my computer, I'm learning Java, so I need the JDK.

i can help you over teamviewer, after many attempts of my java acting up i have practically become a expert in it. have you admin privilages?

I do. It's getting late here though, so I'll do it tomorrow.

im on gmt so drop us a pm when your available need to tv

did my method work?

Nope, sorry. And kasi, I'm ready any time now.

Hmm…If firewall didn't cause this, and It is installed, something else is definitely blocking it.

Check every security software you have, McAfee, Norton, AVG etc!

I disabled it all, nothing happened…

Jezuss, its like your computer hates you! Anything else not working, besides Java?

:p Nope, Thats it, just java. You can TV me and try to fix it if you want.

Never used it before :P Only know what it does :)
Don't want to mess anything up :P

Footy, PM me TV info and I'll take a look. I had a similar issue on my machine I resolved.


EDIT: keep the 2m, lol. Just wish me luck finding the do no evil fags in dom tower

Ok, PMing now.

hmm footy if you don't resolve this jsut reformat comp. I had to do it once because my java was f***ed

his comp is blown. His parents have 73 different AV's. toolbars out the butt on every browser. Parental controls. Poooopy pooopy pooopy AV like norton(wtf)
HAHAH <3 footy. i'll still get this working

EDIT:
real suggestion. reformat, create an account(limited) for parents and use the admin account yourself. Don't use an AV unless daddy likes porn… In which case run MBam every now and then.

Toolbars are probably my fault, I havn't reformatted in about 2-3 years. :p PM'ing u new TV stuff.

good luck fixing all those permissions things… you got parental issues… :P

control freaks

Lol, I'll do my best! Thanks everyone who pitched in, if anyone wants a bit of GP, just PM me. Only if you actually tried to help though. :p

err footy you have tons of toolbars? I just lost every single bit of respect I had for you.

^^Loll
So Im guessing it wasn't fixed Footy? My condolences :)

Also, twufuwwy, never was in in it for the money really :P GL though!

On chrome, my primary browser, I have none. on IE and firefox though, I have tons. :D

@Rezozo, I have no interest in learning what that acronym stands for. :p

I'm likely going to do a reformat and hope it works. :D

If you are talking about 'twufuwwy' Try pronouncing it out :)

that may be a good idea, reinstall windows while your at it, that awill remove all the crap, and remember to back up registry post reinstall of OS, have around 5 backups befor you start deleting things, and only save the reg settings if you are 100% sure it is stable, always keep the post firstBoot backup btw

I have nothing I need on my computer. I'll put my scripts and documents onto a USB, everything else can burn!!!

@Rezozo, I still dont get it…
