[Closed] Fatal error detected by Java Runtime Environment

[compused]

Hi

I have only just noticed this report posted on my desktop. Basically, I was trying to get into Pogo.com last night to play online Boggle and it was very slow. I attach the Java report and ask whether I have now got a virus or whether this is anything I should be worried about?

Thank you for your anticipated assistance.

This is really not the correct forum for this, but I found information that will explain the message: Basically it's a remnant of the war between the Microsoft VM and Java:

Your system bumped into this when you went to pogo.com:
"InvalQueue-com.pogo.ui2.awt.ac[GameHostApplet-BorderedDialog-stdc.game.over.dlog,0,0,123x41,invalid]-GameHostApplet-BorderedDialog-stdc.game.over.dlog" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=4688, stack(0x09960000,0x099b0000)]

Was the game you wanted Scrabble? Seems like that causes the most problems. Please check out this Pogo Tutorial for the common Java problems. You may have issues with other games and this should resolve it:
http://help.pogo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/820

Also some discussion from pogo game players HERE.

Please come back and let me know if it resolved the problem. You will most likely be instructed to run a command to see if you have the Microsoft VM enabled. I'm leaving that instruction below. The war goes on between MS and Java:

Step 1: Find Out Whether You Have the MSJVM

Click Start> Run> type in cmd> enter
At the blinking C Prompt type jview> enter
If you don't have MSJVM installed you'll get a message very similar to this:

"'jview' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

If that's what you see then you don't have MSJVM on your PC. You are safe.

If you do have MSJVM you'll get a message like this:

"Microsoft (R) Command-line Loader for Java Version 5.00.3805 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1996-2000. All rights reserved."

followed by about 20 lines of usage and options information.

So if Pogo want to know this, you'll be one step ahead!

And if they tell you to uncheck the MS VM entries:
Step 2

• Access Internet Options either through the Control Panel or Tools in IE
• Select the Advanced tab
• Uncheck all entries for the Microsotf VM:
• Remove check for JIV Compiler for JVM.
• Click on Aply> OK> Reboot

If there is anything other thn this in thePogo Tutorial, please apply them as instructed. It appears that this is a common problem at pogo.com.

Thank you very much for your help. I have been playing Boggle tonight and no hitches. However, I will try running what you say and see what it comes up with. Boggle doesn't normally crash but Scabble does, as you say.

I have just tried the cmd jview and I do not have MSJVM. I tried going on to the Pogo site to see whether I could contact them and couldn't find anything. However a daily virus protection scan found a java bug and quarantined it.

As I mentioned, your problem is being experienced by other users of Pogo.

If a Java infection was found, it is usually do to having outdated versions of Java. Andd
the way to remove malware in the Java cache is to empty it. I will be glad to give you the imstructions needed, but ask that you do the following first:

I have posted the report to Java and they are looking into it. Apparently it is a new bug.
