Java Download Troubleshooting

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I am having problems with Java Download and wondering how to fix it?”    - Shane S., United Kingdom

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

  • Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
  • Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
  • Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer:

Overview of Java Download

If you have been on the Internet at all, you are sure to have seen the “download Java” prompt at some time or another. While you may not even be sure what “download Java” means, it can have a big effect on your surfing and whether files are downloaded or not.

It is confusing at times to determine whether downloading Java is something that you have to do or whether it is something that you can refrain from doing for now, but many programs use Java for their games and for other programs.

Downloading may be something that scares you, due to the many computer viruses that are out there in the world, but when you download Java, you will see that it is a secure site, which means that it is safe for you to download to be able to use the website to the maximum ability.

If you do get the “download Java” prompt, it does not mean that something is wrong with your computer, but that if you download this program, it can allow you to use the website that you are on.

What Problems are Associated with Java Download?

The prompt to “download Java” means that you do not have the program that the website is using for a specific game or program.

If you want to work or play on this particular website, you will have to download the Java applet. Many websites use this program and it can help you to speed up the games and processes, in that you do not have to download the program to be able to enjoy your surfing. You can simply take advantage of what they have to offer without any lag time, whether it is games, a mortgage calculator, or another program that the website has.

“Download Java” is not a sign that something is wrong with your computer, whether that you cannot take advantage of some of the games and online tools that are available on websites of all different types. When you are prompted to “download Java” or you see the logo of Java that looks much like a coffee cup, you want to download the program to ensure that you can take full advantage of the site.

Is Your PC Healthy?

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.

Happy Computing! :)
