    Hi

    I have been trying to download Java but as soon as I click on download IE7 shuts down. I tried to play a game but when it was loading IE7 shut down so I thought it must be a Java problem and tried to reinstall it again but shut down
    I have never had Java problems before
    I would really appreciate a solution
    :confused:

    Disable all IE's Add-ons (Tools > Manage Add-ons) & try again.

    cannot install java

    Hi Arie
    Thank you for your reply. I have disabled addons and tried again to download java but same thing happened,, IE shut down. I also tried the advice given to another member and installed Microsoft Virtual Machine but that does still not allow games to be played on Pogo, when game is loaded IE shuts down.
    I don't know much about the technical side of the computer so really need help. Should I delete all java entries and then try again?
    It just seems strange that I have had java installed for years and had no problems before
    I have run all my scans for virus etc. :confused:

    Microsoft Virtual Machine has been dead for a long time, and since not updated anymore, it's simply dangerous to keep it on your computer.
    Did you try Firefox?

    I sill suggest you to follow my advise & post a malware log. AFAIK Pogo is known for installing bad stuff on your PC.
