LeazesMag 0 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've got one of these on my screen to update ? Will it fuck anything up ? I don't usually like updating things like this when it is all working OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 6 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Ignore everyone telling you to update. Switch updates off, they are pointless bug fixes. Sun (the people who make Java) are like Adobe. They release pointless updates all the time, probably to remind us they still exist. The only time you need to upgrade will be when you install software that needs a newer version. But the new software will tell you when it installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time you need to upgrade will be when you install software that needs a newer version. But the new software will tell you when it installs. and you gain what from doing that? They pushed out six updates in 2010, very excessive, it means an annoying popup every 2 months. The December update which LM has received is 23, which adds right-to-left languages support. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jav...tes-191058.html Edited January 13, 2011 by Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to pick out any of their updates to discuss further. I clicked on three and they were all irrelevant. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jav...tes-136954.html Here's all of versions 5 in a big list for you to skim. They all look like stability fixes, which since his programs work aren't required. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/ReleaseNotes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughguymick@hotmail.co.uk 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It depends if you've got the offical windows like me you'll be fine. If you've got copied windows it will fuck up your computer mate. You're best paying for windows if you use the internet mate. You need java and windows updates to enhance the speed of your computer and keep your computer away from hackers. yeah do what this guy says, use out of date software leaving yourself exposed to viruses. Javas got nothing to do with viruses. If you dont use Windows updates you can leave yourself exposed to viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
