On my control panel, i go to internet options, then advanced and scroll down to Java Sun and along side this in brackets it says 'requires restart'.
Does this mean its not working correctly, and how do i restart it if it needs to be?
Thanks.

 

It means your pc needs a reboot, however I guess you have tried that already! It may just be "stuck" uninstall your current version and then go to java site again and download the latest version, try that.

good luck!

Thanks mat, ill try that now and let you know the outcome

 

No, what it means is, if you tick/untick that particular box, then you need to restart the PC for the changes to take effect!

I assume you mean this?

 

Yes thats it

 

The "require restart" is only if you tick or untick that box - the changes won't take effect untill you restart the computer, as it has to load from start up

 

It still says 'requires restart'?

 

Is that after applying the update ?

 

It will always say requires restart - thats additional information.

If that box is unticked and you tick it, you have to restart the PC in order for the changes to take place.

Likewise, if the box is ticked and you untick it, you have to restart the PC in order for the changes to take place.

It doesn't mean it's not working cos it says requires restart..... it means "this option requires you to restart your PC if you want to apply/unapply the setting"

Follow me?

 

Thanks mate, i get ya
