Hello, WEO!
You may not remember me, but I used to play a lot a couple years ago.
Why did I stop? I got a new computer. And it refuses to let me play.
I have no clue what is wrong, this is what happens:



I have reinstalled java multiple times.
Yes, I did 'turn it off and back on again.'
Yes, WEO is allowed to run in the Java configurtation.
Please help, I have no clue what's wrong with it.
Everything else that runs java works fine.

...
Hello?
Please?

I honestly have no idea how to help. Try a different web browser?

When you test with this link below, what happens?

http://java.com/en/download/installed.j ... =jre&try=1

Which browser are you using?

Sometimes you have to right click on the object in the middle and run the plugin.

When I test that link, I have to manually click run this plugin.
But once I run it, it turns white and nothing appears.
Same happens with WEO now. Before it didn't have the 'run this plugin' Option,
so that's good, but it just turns white and still won't play.

what computer are you using?
what operating system is on your computer?
what browser are you using?

I'm using Google Chrome
I'm using a Toshiba laptop
When you say operating system, what do you mean?
I'm good with the internet, not computers themselves.
There are stickers on my laptop that say:
AMD Turion X2 64
ATI Radeon Graphics
LabelFlash
Windows Vista

Does that help?

Yes,
You computer is a Toshiba
Operating system is Vista
Browser is Chrome

Can you try using Internet Explorer for this?
Try the test link that tests if Java works (see above posts).

Still doesn't work. The screen is white, except now there is a little red x in the
top left corner. Clicking it does nothing, right-clicking it does nothing.
Whatever, I might be getting a new computer soon anyways. if I do, hopefully
WEO will work on it.
Thanks for trying to help though!

Java is not working on your computer.

I know you tried this, but just to make sure, here is the FREE download for the latest Java:

Here is the latest for enabling Java to run in your browser:

How do I enable Java in my web browser?

This article applies to:
Platform(s): Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Macintosh OS X
SYMPTOMS

Even after installing Java, Applets do not run.

CAUSE

Java is not enabled in the web browser. If Java is already installed but applets do not work, you need to enable Java through your web browser.

SOLUTION

If you recently installed Java, you may need to restart your browser (close all browser windows and re-open), in order for the browser to recognize the installation. In addition, make sure Java content in the browser is enabled through the Java Control Panel.

Follow these instructions to enable Java though your Web browser.

Okay! I have a new computer!

...And as such I have new problems.
It runs java perfectly fine. But for some reason it won't run WEO.
It says there is a problem with the applet.

Please try this:

Uninstall the version of Java that is on your computer.
Then install this version and try again:

Here is where the Oracle Java files come from if you want to download it from there, look for the file shown above:

Done. Says the same exact thing. I don't understand
why it never works for me. I'm on a completely different computer
that java runs perfectly fine on, it's updated, all security
systems are working fine and bypassed for WEO specifically.
It has no virus, I am completely and absolutely baffled.
