text: can someone please tell me how to fix java,? i tried add/remove from control panel and it says i have another version and will not allow me to do anything, i cannot find the mysterious other version.says that there was a fatal error during installation, when i try to play games at pogo it says that java is not working properly. i had a similar problem myself with pogo and did some of the same things you're tried.  i also uninstalled java and re-installed it.  i spent hours trying to find a solution.  my error was "java not working or not found"   what puzzled me was that i never had this problem until after i updated my norton.  i'm still not sure this even was the problem as i had updated some of my windows security also.  i'm not sure what i did will help you but you can try it.  go to the pogo website 1st.  then go to "tools"  there is an option.."synchronize" click on it. you will be able to allow the ad's and enable the popups in order for the games to run.  it worked for me and only took one minute.  i've never had a problem since.  i hope it works for you.
