I am using the 7100 build of windows 7 and I play on club pogo a lot. I was not having any problems at all with the 7000 build but now java won't load in firefox or internet explorer. I have no idea what to do. I am a computer tech at a local shop here but noone knows anything about windows 7 and I cant find the answer. Help :(

Try downloading and installing the standalone version of Java:http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jspCarey Frisch

tried that and it didnt work :(

Hi maniacgravy, Try downloading and installing it using IE instead of firefox to see if that makes a difference.

Hi maniacgravy: I installed Firefox prior to installing Java and had the same problem. I found that uninstalling Firefox in control panel/programs/uninstall, re-starting the PC and then re-installing the latest Java version first, then re-installing Firefox worked and my online stock trading Java program started working immediately.

Tried out using java on my internet banking web site (www.bradesco.com.br).Seems to be working ok. Java is deployed in passwords etc so can't really say that this test was exhaustive...Google Chrome seems to have a problem using java - at least on that site.Ambidextrous installed Windows 7 Release Candidate on an HP Pavilion dv1000 Laptop with a Centrino 1.86 GB CPU and 2 GB RAM.

Hi Ambidextrous: In a recent post on this site called "frequently asked questions", one of the questions covered "which browsers will work with Win7". If I recall correctly Firefox was the only one besides IE listed as working correctly with Win7.

Hi newnerdMight be. The java issue is - until now - the only problem I have encountered with Chrome. Ambidextrous installed Windows 7 Release Candidate on an HP Pavilion dv1000 Laptop with a Centrino 1.86 GB CPU and 2 GB RAM.Tried using java again today. No problems. No problems detected with Chrome.

I and many others have had problems using any Java release after build 7. (note that is the Java release, not Windows) This is not restricted to Windows 7. Here is a link for Java problems which I have encountered, it may not be applicable in your case but may point you in the right direction http://wiki.modplugin.org/index.php/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_it_work_with_Java_Update_10_or_11.3F

I advice you to uninstall all java software you have, reset IE to default settings and make it your default browser, then reinstall java from the link Carey gave to you. pay attention to:windows 7 64 bit uses the default 32bit IE, you have to install the java that suits your IE bit. if you are using the IE64bit then download the java 64bit. Are you using both? then download both versions.regards, It's all about Windows.

Ok, now I don't feel as bad, I am a moderately knowledgeable computer user with teenagers to help me. We are having the same problem and the wmp doesn't play sound and other downloads won't work. java installs, but won't do anything. I tried everything suggested in the forum. Good luck.

so did I...still doesnt work. I ended up downloading windows xp virtual machine. which it works perfectly there..but it's lame to have to run that to play on pogo...

The first time I tried installing Java it did not work. I simply just tried it a second time and it installed no problem. I used the link from the Java homepage, java.com and it downloaded and installed just fine. Hope this helps. Build 7100, Centrino Duo 1.66ghz. 3BG RAM.

I have seen the same behaviour on both Chrome and IE8Ambidextrous installed Windows 7 Release Candidate on an HP Pavilion dv1000 Laptop with a Centrino 1.86 GB CPU and 2 GB RAM.

i had the same problem heres what i did to fix it... first download this dll file(msvcr71.dll) from this site: http://www.dll-files.com ignore the green download buttons on this site because that is for some kind of scanner, look for a link(text) that says "Click here to go to the download of msvcr71.dll " then a popup will come up and then finally click on "Download msvcr71.dll " then unzip the file then copy and paste it to windows/system32 folder AND if you have 64 bit also paste it to windows/syswow64 folder. reboot pc and then give firefox or IE a try! Hope it helps like it did me!

and that fixed it after all this stress thanks so much mrnally :) greatly appreciated

mrnalley's fix worked for me also. Just hope no bad stuff will result. Hasn't so far.

any issue using the file msvcr71.dll from www.dll-files.com ?hope not a trojan or something.. i also have the java problem

None that I'm aware of. Everything seems to be just fine. Pogo works fine.

its working perfectly for me too...pogo for me too :)

i have tried copy the file to windows/system32 folder AND windows/syswow64 folder, reboot.after try to install java 64, still the same problem.

Did the file copy to the folders ok?

file copy ok but nothing happen.I install previous version java 5 32bit and is working. 64bit still no luck.

Thank you so much, mrnalley. I had this problem with a fresh installation of Windows 7...and was frustrated to find java wasn't working with any browser. I acquired a new msvcr71.dll file via the link you posted and replaced the copy already in my System32 file...it worked like a charm! Thanks again for your help :)
