I have played pogo games and others for years. I recently downloaded windows sp2. Now I get error messages when I want to play these games. The message says Jave either not installed or not found. I've made sure everything seems to be checked off correctly in the internet options tab. What else can I do. I have gone to several websites and have not been able to find an answer. Please help. Thank you.
