Updated to firefox 5 and had all sorts of problems loading web pages, redid my anti virus programs and solved that issue, I have an account at pogo but the scrabble game tells me I have to download java, everytim I download java i get 1606 error, I tried the manual download option java recommends and I still get 1606 error. I un-installed java and when I try to install the latest version of java, I'm back to the 1606 error again...any suggestions? Thanks!

Are you downloading Java through http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp ?

yes I did, and I clicked on the link you supplied here and got the 1606 error message again. Which I'm told is a instal-shield error. I thought this was a firefox problem so I tried using internet explorer and got the same 1606 error.

That 1606 error message isn't from Firefox, which uses 3 digit error codes. Check with Java support to see what that message means.
