I want to upload complete maps into drive as a backup. But every time I want to install the Java applet a little yellow bar appears in drive wich says: The installation of the java applet has failed. (I'm using a dutch version, so the quotations are just a free translation to english.)

When I click on the add-on button next to the padlock and click on allow to continue the page appears to refresh, but then the add-on button just reappears next to the padlock and nothing has changed. I have enabled java through the padlock and at the permissions tab, but that didn't solve it. I have also followed these steps: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2424368, but these also didn't help.

I have the latest versions of java and firefox installed, and I'm running windows 7. Please help

This can be caused by blocking unsigned Java applets.

What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?:

There are other things that need your attention.

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
  2. Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove all (older) version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and (re)install the latest Flash player.
