My game was basically lagging out hugely earlier on, so I removed all Java's from my PC, reinstalled Java onto it, had the "You have successfully installed Java" message appear...

Yet whenever I open the game window (In Chrome) I get this screen..

I've tried following the link and installing the plug-in, but it just reinstalls what I had just downloaded. And to top it all off, in the help section for Java, I am getting the "Javascript is enabled" message...

Help please?

Oh, and I've followed all of the instructions on the javascript help page on FS as well.

EDIT: It's working on IE D:

Update: The gamescreen has just told me the Java is out of date..? I only just downloaded the latest one possible from Java.com itself?!

I have a new message telling me that
"This plugin has security vulnerabilities. Click here to activate the Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U plugin."
So I just click the icon and it works.

Java is having some issues in general. The US Department of Homeland Security has advised everyone to disable java lol.....

I've had that exact problem since midway through yesterday. I logged in here, fine, then about an hour later logged into pool and that message was up, then when I logged back in here it was up too.

My cousin told me this today..

Apparently its being actively exploited by hackers to gain access to your computer for various reasons. Oracle themselves said it has 86 new security vulnerabilities to be fixed in the next patch.

Latest update with me is that every time I log in to the game window now, it asks me to either update my Java, which is already the latest one, or just "Run this time".

So it works now, but I have to click Run this time every time I want to play.

EDIT: Using Firefox gives me the Security Vulnerabilities warning when I log in...

^
Maybe it's not clear enough, but what I'm saying there is I am shown the message saying that, yet it still isn't working.

On another note, Oracle have just released update 11! Let's see how I fare with this one

Your java properties:
Java version: 1.7.0_03
Java vendor: Oracle Corporation
Operating system: Windows Vista
VERDICT: success.

Just noticed this.

Your vendor should be "Sun Microsystems". Where are you downloading java from?

You should only ever get it from http://www.java.com

Just to be certain can you verify you have tried everything needed for a fresh install :

Uninstall Java (remembering there may be multiple versions installed, they have to be done individually)
Reboot
Clear history including downloaded program files
Reboot
Then visit java.com for a fresh install.

That's from our resident technical genius, had to hunt to find it though! Thought of it when I saw yours was oracle too... I think its the same thing haha.

Yes it does work, but this thread was made at the point when it wasn't working

I just think it's Oracle being rubbish to be honest!

If you are on the Java version 7 update 10 or below, I highly suggest that you update to update 11 from here: http://java.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp?locale=en

The reason for this is a huge security flaw.
I suggest you take a quick read of this article: http://mashable.com/2013/01/13/java-exploit/

Also, keep posting on this thread to keep it alive for a bit. Scan your PC after installing the new java with Malware Bytes which can be found here:

Thanks for reading,
