I updated Java the other day and ever since then, I have been getting interference on some of my games. I am running Win 7 and Firefox.

Is there a way of deleting the last update?

I updated my Java on my Windows 7 too and haven't have any issues with games. What kind of interference are you talking about?

I am getting hesitation in my match 3 games and also some static. Sometimes the game stops and I get a buzz sound.

Oh, dear. I have no way to associate those issues with the Java update. I certainly haven't had anything like it at all.

Maybe Jenny or Inland will know more.

Sometimes Java updates come with a checkbox that you have to uncheck if you don't want something like a trial version of McAfee antivirus installed along with the Java. That could certainly slow your games -- especially if you're already using a different antivirus. Is it possible something like that happened?

I don't recall anything like that. Is there a way I can check it?

Look in your installed programs and see if there is anything there that you don't recognize.

The buzzing sound sounds like you have another issue going on...

The buzz sound could be from a damaged audio driver.

I too updated Java a few days ago, and did catch the already checked check box for the antivirus offered. I'm glad I caught it because I didn't need another one.

Besides a bad audio driver there could also be an actual mechanical connection problem with the speakers. If they are built in then a person knowledgeable in diagnostic testing would be the best bet. If exterior then, if possible, swapping/replacing cords might cure the problem.

If the buzzing persists then reload/updating the audio drivers would be the easiest to do. If it continues after redoing the driver then shop time would be called for.


If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

Had some updates installed the other night. Seems to be running okay for now.

Just a note everyone, I see a lot of updates putting in things you don't want, various things like Norton, Mcafee, and such so read, read, and uncheck.
Sad way of greedy things going on.
