Java installer stops

I want to play games on Pogo.com, but it says i need Java. Ok, so I download it, but when it is installing, it stops! The time left just keeps going up, and the bar won't move!!!

Thank anyways, but I just downloaded it from Download.com and it worked. Thanks!

I am having similar problems with updates to Ad Aware, Java and Flashplayer. The install program downloads w/ no issues but the updates quit at the 99% point +/-. No pop-up warnings of any sort appear. Have tried thru Filehippo and the home websites w/ no effect--seems to point to the computer itself. I wouldn't care but now I'm getting 'Firefox will not open xxxxx due to outdated (Java, Flashplayer..) Browsers are Chrome and Firefox. Any ideas, folks?

Still fighting w/ the computer on this but I see that I'm in good company, esp ref Flashplayer 16.0.0.305. Finally elected to get the updated program on a notebook, xfer it to a flashdrive and then install. Works fine and no drama but it's not the way this is supposed to work and I cannot figure out why I need this workaround.

may be you can quit it and reinstall the java. This works on my computer. Guess that it can also work on yours.

At the point that I dump the old version, I'd be committed--and in trouble if the newer program didn't install. Moot point, since I found a work-around. Old aviation habit---turn something 'on' before your turn something 'off'.
