Java error

Nov 5, 2004 11:25AM PST

I have been playing java games online for some time. Suddenly, the games on some sites just don't work, and on AOL, I get an error message telling me I need to have java installed to play the game. I have it installed and have not had a problem in the past. Any ideas? I would appreciate the help.

Thanks. I just found this as I was on the phone with AOL and told them I couldnt get logged into their technical to ask a question. He said I probably needed to redownload JAVA. I asked him how but he said to contact Dell. I just came in here and I redownloaded it but I dont know if it helped yet or not until I have to use the techncial again.
