Answer by Kid_Icarus
Try going into your Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel & remove any Java instances that appear there. Then go to http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_ie.jsp?locale=en&host=www.java.com and get the latest Java version.

Here is some java things you can do and how to contact pogo with the needed info to get things working again.

How do I clear my Java cache?

In order to delete the Java cache and objects, which is different from the browser cache and temporary Internet files; using the latest version of Sun Java 1.5.x, please follow these steps if you are also using Windows. If you are not sure if you have the latest version of Sun Java or not, please visit our article about checking for the Java plugin and follow the instructions.

Once you are sure you are using the latest version of Sun Java, please follow these instructions to delete the Java cache and objects if you’re using Windows.

Click the following things in order: Start -> Control Panel -> Java -> ‘General’ tab.
Click the Delete Files button located in the Temporary Internet Files section.
Make sure all three boxes are selected, and click OK.
This should probably be done whenever you encounter a problem with the way a game is functioning. Restarting your computer after doing so can also help the performance of the game.

How do I install or update Java?

If you’ve never installed Java on your computer, you’ll need to do so in order to play Pogo games. It’s not uncommon for new computers (particularly those with Windows XP) to ship without any form of Java installed, so don’t panic if you don’t have it. Java is a free download and is easy to install. Also, updating it follows the same steps, so these are directions for that, as well.

Below you will find two sets of instructions. One is for uninstalling Sun Java and one is for installing Sun Java. Following these processes should help you resolve any problems you are encountering with Java, such as getting errors saying something like “Java Not Found or Not Working”. The instructions below are primarily for Windows users. If you are using Mac OS X, please go to http://www.apple.com/java for assistance with uninstalling and installing Sun Java. If you are using any other operating system, such as a version of Linux, please refer to the manufacturer’s website for assistance with uninstalling and installing Java.

Uninstalling Sun Java

If you already have Sun Java installed, or if you are not sure it is installed, try following these steps listed below. If you are unable to find the Java icon in the Control Panel as indicated, then go ahead and jump down to the second set of instructions for installing the latest version of Sun Java.

Click the Start button on the Windows Taskbar.
Select Run.
In the text box, type ‘control’ (without the quotes) and click OK.
Double-click the Add or Remove Programs icon.
Scroll down to ‘Java Runtime Environment’ or ‘J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0′ and uninstall all instances that you see.
Scroll down to ‘Java Web Start’ and uninstall it as well.
Restart your computer. To get back to these instructions to install Sun Java, come back to the Help Pages and do a search for “Installing Sun Java”.
Installing or re-installing Sun Java

Go to the Sun Java Download page at www.java.com.
The steps may vary as Sun updates this page periodically.
Click the Download button that is usually on the right side of the page.
Click the Begin Download button.
Next you may encounter a warning message that instructs you on ‘Installing the ActiveX Control’. Please follow the instruction to allow the installation.
If you see a Security Warning for installing the J2SE Runtime Environment, click Install.
Next you will be prompted to read and accept the license agreement. After reading the agreement click next to ‘I accept…’ and click Next.
When prompted, choose ‘Typical’ installation, and click Next.
When the installation is complete, you may be asked to restart your computer now or later. Choose to restart it now.
After your computer has restarted and you are online, go back and try to play again.
If you still have the same problems with the games after uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-in, please click on the ‘Contact Us ‘ tab at the top of this page to request help via e-mail from one of our Game Support Representatives. Make sure to let us know that you already tried these steps, so that we can help you from there.

I got a “Java not found or not working” error.

When you first load a game, our servers run a ‘check’ on your Java to make sure it’s working. A ‘Java Not installed or not working’ error usually means that something got messed up with your Java plugin or Virtual Machine and it’s no longer functioning properly. If your Java’s not working, the games won’t work.

If you’re getting this error, you should first try playing several different games. Here are some suggestions:

Word Whomp
Ali-Baba Slots
Cribbage (play with robots so you can leave if need be)
Ez-Win Bingo

If you get this error in all or most of the games, you should reinstall or upgrade your Java software.

If you only get this error in one game or a few games, you probably just need to re-download those games. Try clearing out your browser cache and Java cache as well, then completely close and re-open your browser and try again.

If you get this error and are using Internet Explorer 7, you may need to enable Java in IE 7.

‘Java not found or not working’ errors when using Sun Java and IE 7

If you recently updated to Internet Explorer 7 (IE 7.0) and are now experiencing ‘Java Not Found or Not Working’ errors, it is typically due to Java being disabled in the browser. You can manually enable Java using the steps below:

Open an Internet Explorer 7 browser window.
Click the Tools menu in the upper right of the window.
Click Manage Add-Ons and select Enable and Disable Add-Ons.
Click Sun Java Console.
Make sure the radio button at the bottom is set to Enable.
Click OK.
Close the window.
Open a new Internet Explorer 7 browser window and go to the Pogo website.
Launch a Pogo game.
Try one that you are sure was not previously working so you can test it.
Java should now be fully enabled and Pogo games should work correctly.

How do I make sure the Sun Java 2 plug in is enabled and working?

To check to see if you already have Sun Java installed and enabled, please follow these instructions.

Click the Start button on the Windows Taskbar.
Select Run.
Type ‘control’ (without the quotes) in the text field box and click OK.
Once you are viewing the Control Panel, there is panel to the left that either says ‘Switch to Classic View’ or ‘Switch to Category View’. If it says ‘Switch to Classic View’ then click it. If it says ‘Switch to Category View’ then you are where you want to be. To the right of where it says ‘Switch to Category View’ you will see a list of items, the first item listed is most likely ‘Accessibility Options’. Scroll down the list until you see ‘Java’ and double click it so the Java Control Panel appears.
In the Java Control Panel, click the Advanced tab. If you don’t see the Advanced tab, you have an older version of Sun Java. To find out how to update to the latest version, please click here. (Once you’ve read the article, just click the Back button on your browser to come back here.) Once you do this, Sun Java will automatically be enabled.
Once you are in the ‘Advanced’ you will want to click the plus sign (+) next to where it says ‘Applet tag support’.
There you will see a check box next to ‘Internet Explorer’ and/or ‘Mozilla Netscape’. If you have Internet Explorer then make sure the box next to it is checked. If you have a Mozilla browser, like Netscape or Firefox, then make sure the check box next to the ‘Mozilla Netscape’ option is checked as well.
Then click OK at the bottom of the Java Control Panel window and close all of your browser windows.
Now open up your browser, go back to Pogo, and try to play again.

How do I reinstall the Sun Java 2 plug in, if I already have it?

Below you will find two sets of instructions. One is for uninstalling Sun Java and one is for installing Sun Java. Following these processes should help you resolve any problems you are encountering with Java, such as getting errors saying something like “Java Not Found or Not Working”.

I’ve been asked to submit a Java log. How do I do that?

For Sun Java users:
If you are using the latest version of Sun Java to play our games, you will see a Sun Java icon that looks like a Coffee Cup in your System Tray (near your computer’s clock) after you have started loading a game. Right-click that icon and choose ‘Open Console’. Then, click the ‘Copy’ button. Next, go to your response field of your incident, right-click and choose ‘Paste’, or press CTRL+V on your keyboard.

If you do not see this icon in your system tray near your clock, then you either do not have the latest version of Java, or you disabled the icon from appearing. To enable the icon again, simply go to your Control Panel, click ‘Java’, then on the Advanced tab, click the plus sign (+) next to ‘Miscellaneous’ and check the box next to “Place Java icon in system tray”. Then, click OK and start over with the first paragraph to provide us with your Java log.

For MS Java users (Please note that we strongly recommend switching to Sun Java ):
Note: If you’re using AOL, you’ll need to open Internet Explorer (or right-click the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop) to view these options:

Go to the Tools menu in Internet Explorer and choose Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab and make sure you have the following settings:
Browsing
Disable script debugging – OFF
Java VM
Java console enabled (requires restart) – ON
Java JIT compiler enabled – OFF
Java logging enabled – ON
Click the Security tab and make sure the “Security level for this zone” is set to Medium.
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Now your Java Logging is enabled. So the next time the error or problem occurs, you can go to the View menu and choose Java Console. Just copy (hold down the Ctrl key and press the “C” key once) the text in that window and paste (hold down the Ctrl key and press the “V ” key once) it into the Contact Us form on our Games Support site to send it to us.

If you’re having trouble copying and pasting, check in the C:WINDOWSJAVA folder for a file called ‘javalog.txt ‘. You can also send us the contents of that.

If you have any questions, please reply to the request and let the agent who requested it know.

How can I view (or send in) my Java version information?

To find which Java you are using, please do the following:
Click this link to open the Java Version Info window. This is hosted at Pogo.com.
This will make a new in window appear. The window will display information about your Java version that you can use to troubleshoot your issue.

If you want to send this to a Support Agent or have been asked to, please follow the steps below.
Highlight all 3 lines of text in the box of the new window.
To highlight the text, click before the first letter and continue to hold the mouse button down. Drag the cursor to the last character of the third line, and then you can let go of the mouse button.
Copy the text.
To copy the text, hold down the Ctrl key and press the “C” key once. (For Mac users: hold down the Apple key and press the “C ” key once.)
Paste the text into the Response Field or the Question Field.
To paste the text, go the text field where you would like the text to appear and left click once in that area. Then, hold down the Ctrl key and press the “V ” key once. The text should then appear in the text field.

compared to just reading webpages, will pogo games make me reach my limit allot faster? Or is that only for stuff like youtube videos that would use up the limit?

Answer by topdn
figure on 1/2 gig per hour for pogo games

Answer by micksmixxx
How long is a piece of string?

Once you’re able to give me an accuracte answer to that question I’ll be able to tell you how much of your 5GB limit will be taken up by playing Pogo games.

It would have helped if you’d said how often you play Pogo games, and for how long, but what you need to bear in mind is that your 5GB limit includes all activities that you undertake on the internet so, when you load up a game, it will start steadily coming off your allowance. Plus, each time you start a new game, that will count too.
