Im certainly no expert. But if your current flash player looks dodgey, unistall it.

Then get the latest version from the link below, its on the right handside. You may also need to install Shockwave and/or Reader. I cant remember the installation order, but it will tell you. Dont worry these are completely safe.

I stumbled onto one of your posts in a gaming forum where you said your operating system is Windows 2000. If that is true could it be that whatever version of Java you're trying to install is not compatible for some reason ?

Just a wild guess......

LOL Well i got firefox instead and i am now able to get onto gaming sites and i just think all my problems the whole time where that i 1 - I am not computer literate at all, and I really dont even know what java is all I know is that it is a program that is needed, then when i enter pogo there where still times it would tell me that i needed to download a plug-in???? i have no clue what they mean so then i move to another window where this gaming site is and click on another game and java starts to work. That is the issue here i ask for help get it and then a problem re- arise's and it is true that it must be with internet explorer! it isnt good at all, so i have firefox now and it seems just fine so far, i will let ya know. LOL I know i must be driving you all crazy its just that i really dont know a thing about computers and the more i mess around the more i learn But it always seems to comeback to java Odd.
