Solved Java problem in windows 7 pro

[trnyack]

Around the first of the year I got a new computer that had windows 7 professional per-installed, at first everything was just fine, a few weeks ago, I could not use any web pages that employed java, in any browser. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? I cannot even use the java test page, I only get an empty white box, how silly of java to use java script in it's web site

If you cant use there test page that indicated that java is out of date and needs updating.
Here is the link: https://www.java.com/en/download/

Java and Java Script are two different things.
Please read these.

What is Java and why do I need it?

Most need Java Script and most don't need Java.

 

[trnyack]

I have uninstalled and reinstalled java &javascript numerous times, all to no avail, starting to run low on ideas, also did a restart each time I uninstalled and reinstalled, my next step is a restore to factory conditions

Try: Java Runtime Environment 8.0.0 (64-bit) Download for Windows / FileHorse.com

Thank you harribo, I will let you know if this helps

 

[trnyack]

Same problem, thanks for the idea

 

[HarriePateman]

No worries guys

 

[trnyack]

if this is at all helpful, when I try to manually load the .dll for java, I get the error code 0x80004005

Their are very few websites that need Java.
Many people including me have no Java on the computers.
Some programs do require Java but I know of no browser that does.
Browsers do need Java Script to work properly.
Lets try this; remove all Java.
Try your browsers.
What websites are you having problems with?

The problem occurs in all of my browsers, IE11, Firefox 28, Chrome (unsure of version), and all websites, any drop down box on a web site does nothing, captchas will not load, google search results give me nothing more than a blank page, youtube videos will not play

Error code error code 0x80004005 Indicates you have no internet access? that's strange?

 

[Layback Bear]

Good catch Harribo2014 I didn't catch that code.
Try using Windows Update. Can you get updates if not what code do you get.
What anti virus and firewall do you use?
What is the system specs of the computer having the problem. Is it in the one in your specs.

code 0x80004005 could be also a "timeout" the reach the path of the .dll for java. Might the path being too long? Also check if your Windows Time.

 

[HarriePateman]

Just to be safe, i would recommend safe mode scan. you never know what might pop up.
agreed with Layback Bear; specs?

 

[trnyack]

laybackbear: I use Total defense security center for both my antivirus and firewall, my computer is the same as in my specs

 

[Layback Bear]

Can you get Windows Updates?

 

[trnyack]

There are no available updates, but I can connect to that server

 

[Layback Bear]

I thinking your anti virus is causing the problem.
The only way I know how to check such a thing is to remove Total defense security using their tool and installing Microsoft Security Essential for testing.
If you do this after removing Total Defense reboot a couple of times before installing MSE.

Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows

***Have you ever or do you now have
