Java Runtime error

Oct 19, 2011 10:46AM PDT

Here is a copy of what pops up on my desktop over and over. I think it's a problem with Pogo and Java. There is more to the error message but I hoped someone can help me with just this much of the message shown. Thank you

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x661c5f85, pid=2408, tid=4688 # # JRE version: 7.0-b147 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (21.0-b17 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86 ) # Problematic frame: # V [jvm.dll+0x85f85] # # Failed to write core dump.

All you can say is the following:
1. A java program is running.
2. That java program or the JVM is doing something illegal.

Possible remedies as indicated in, for example, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/140030/possible-causes-of-java-vm-exception-access-violation
a. Uninstall all java from your PC and install the latest one (the appropiate JRE from www.java.com)
b. Look in the error file and see if it makes any sense to you (probably it won't)
c. Contact the author of the application and file a bug report.

You didn't tell why you think it's a Pogo problem.

A Suggestion... It Looks Like You're Using The New Java 7

We've experienced a number of problems with it. Certain programs didn't work well with it and we're familiar with at least two firewalls which blocked java applets from functioning on the internet.. We went back to Java 6 with it's current Update 29 available in the last couple of days.

Hope this helps.
