Problems with interactive sites used with Ellen McHenry's Elements.

[Susie in MS]

I have only checked out two interactive sites so far and neither will work on my puter. My dh just installed Windows 10 a few days ago and something is amiss. He said Java and Flash Player are installed and updated, so these are not the issues according to him. Can you tell me what I need for these two sites?

The second one says: "This site uses a plugin, Java TM, that is unsupported."

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Java website says this when I run the java test on my windows 10 laptop

" On Windows 10, the Edge browser does not support plug-ins and therefore will not run Java. Switch to a different browser (Firefox or Internet Explorer 11) to run the Java plug-in. More info"

 

Have you tried with Firefox?

Check and see if you have the 32 bit Java installed.  He may have installed the 64 bit Java instead.  You can have both. 

 

Website to verify Java installation (verify the browser plugin).   https://www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp

 

Hth!

Thank you both, Ladies! I haven't tried Firefox or Internet Explorer because he has removed the both. When he gets up I'll have him look into these things. He is way more tech savvy than I am.  Thank you so much! 

 

 

 

ETA

I just went to the link for checking Java and it told me that it doesn't work with Chrome either (my only other browser besides Edge he left on here).
