I installed the new Java update, and cant open the pool or snooker browsers...it comes up looking like such...



I am not sure what is going on, as also i couldn't verify java...i clicked "verify java" on java.com and it would come up with a grey box with no words...i know it should come up with a bunch of words saying its verified blah blah lol

Any solutions other than go back to previous version?

Jus found this, im reading over it now..

Looks like the old multiple install issue which happens so often.

To rectify:
- Go to control panel
- Add remove programs
- Remove all the java versions you see (there may be more than one).
- Clear browser histories including downloaded program files.
- Reboot (even if you're not told to)
- Then visit http://www.java.com for a new, clean, install.

yeh spin, thats what im doing, jus found it, thats the link i posted above

Thanks!!

Oh shoooot... i did all above, but forgot to restart laptop


But this is what java shows

see how its a grey box, doesnt show what it should show..

and i guess i should uninstall clear browsing data and downloaded file list, restart and then re-install?

I have done everything correctly now as shown above.

It still shows both pictures i uploaded.

I now will try n go back to previous version, ill go through threads looking for any links to go back to previous version

Well i will try n download Java 7 update 17...see if it works

never worked..i tried java 7 update 17 it was too old...idk what to do...but cant play on either 2 laptops, onlly the PC which is over 10 years old, and it has a leaky capacitor, so it shuts off at random..or restarts at random i should say...

So no hope 4 me thanks..

i always found Update 23 was also a good one (last one to allow copy + pasting i think).

but start with the newest java then go to http://www.filehippo.com/ and go down the list

ok thanks james, newest 1 dint work..but ill try em all

If you do not use the newest version, don't use Google Chrome unless it allows you to select Run this time as Chrome uses the newest java

If you are unable to copy / paste with your current java version, here is the solution:

Update java, but don't uninstall / delete previous version

follow instructions for PC in this link.
It works fine for me (looks quite complicated, but it's not so hard really)

ok i first installed newest which is java7 update 21..then i had a problem..ok i didnt have a problem with the one i had b4 just thought i would update as i usually do..

then i had probs, so i uninstalled everything and reinstalled new 1 again..still same issue, then i tried doin the previous one, it said this is outdated..so i uninstalled that..

Now dgen suggested update 23, which is java "6" update 23 not java 7..im installing that now./.

Ok i suppose that update jus worked, as now i can click (run this time) and it will work...b4 it didn';t work on run this time

anybody know what i have to do
HELP!

uninstall and reinstall the newest version.

If your using Update 21 that might be why as i got the exact same thing. Was fixed when i upgraded to Update 25

Many people are experiencing it on Pool too:
