Java - help please

[leemarquis]

If anyone can offer help with regards to Java it would be much appreciated. I have been trying to use Ultimate Free (www.onefshop.com) but it simply doesnt work as I dont think my Java is correct/up to date.

I use a Mac (powerbook G4) with OS 10.3.9. If I try to test my java on the java.com website (using firefox) it just crashes so something must be wrong. If I test in IE it just doesnt work either.

Ive downloaded what I thought are all the latest java updates. Can any one help? Perhaps I need to completely remove java from my machine and reinstall it again? How would I do this?

Thanks.

Well for Windows...

Start / settings / Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs.

The Java Runtimes are listed there.

But for Mac.... I've not got a clue..

Ive tried the java.com website where you can test your java setting but it just causes Firefox to crash, and doesnt work on IE - so I clearly have problems with my Java.

Anyone else use a Mac and can advise how to sort this out?

Have you tried using the Software Update on the Apple menu to ensure that all your software (including Java runtimes) are up to date?

If you are developing a java app or applet, have you installed the developers tools?

When I run software update there is nothing new to update. Im not developing anything - just trying to use an application which needs java - ie Ultimate Free and Jalbums.
