Re: Java Version 5 Update 9 Problem???

From: "Phyllis" <someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Following the advice I read about here on this newsgroup last night I
| updated my Java on my laptop to the latest update (9) and then this morning
| was
| doing my monthly cleanup. Adware, Virus Scan, Spybot, CCleaner, ChkDsk,
| and Defrag. Anyway, during the checkdisk it got hung up and kept starting
| over and wouldn't go ahead and boot XP. At one of the restarts of
| checkdisk, I hit escape, and it starting scrolling very fast something about
| not enough space to do something with a bad sector, it wouldn't stop, so I
| just turned it off at power button. When I turned it back on it started the
| checkdisk again. I stopped it and turned it off again. I restarted in safe
| mode, it went as far as the black screen with all the lines of text and
| hung. I finally got it restarted in safe mode and clicked on restart with
| last good configuration. It booted without a problem. Needless to say, I
| never did try to defrag. My question is could it have something to do with
| the Java? That is the only thing that has changed on the computer, I ended
| up uninstalling it entirely. Another question, what is Java used for
| anyway? Does a person really need it?
|
| I hope it is not my hard drive going belly up. I have only had this laptop
| about 8 months. Compaq Presario, Windows XP SP2, AMD Turion 64, AVG
| anti-virus, Zone Alarms Firewall. I have a wireless router. I apologize
| for the lengthy/wordy message. Any suggestions as to what the problem might
| be?
|

Unrelated to Java. Perform the CHKDSK that Engel suggested.
