In this thread here <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b82baf> the OP appears to lay the blame for a corrupted Preferences file firmly at the Java updates door.
Now I know less than nothing about Java let alone what it does but this morning I received a pop-up advising me that an application was trying to use Java and that an update was available (or words to that effect). As I had no applications running at the time I can only assume that it was tied to something within the startup programmes (Windows). Could someone kindly tell me what exactly is Java, what it’s used for and is there a way to find out what application is requesting the update?
Having finally got CS4 and Lightroom to run in the way that they were designed following numerous graphic card updates (three in the last month I think) etc etc I am reluctant to download/update something that (a) I might not require and (b) run the risk of upsetting what appears to be a temperamental Photoshop from what I read in other posts. Thanks.
