Safari: Web-based games at www.pogo.com unexpectedly quit
Symptoms
When using Safari to play some web-based games at www.pogo.com, the game quits with a memory issue after a short time.
Products Affected
Safari, Pogo
Resolution
To resolve this issue, you need Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later, and Java 2 SE 5.0 Release 3, both of which are available via Software Update.
Java 2 SE 5.0 Release 3 is not enabled by default, so you will need to follow these steps to enable it:
- Quit Safari.
- Open the Java Preferences application, which is located here:
/Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/
- In the "Java Applet Runtime Settings" panel, switch from using J2SE 1.4.2 to J2SE 5.0.
- In the "Java Application Runtime Settings" panel, drag J2SE 5.0 to the top of the list (above J2SE 1.4.2).
- Click Save.
With Java 2 SE 5.0 Release 3 enabled, games should behave as expected at www.pogo.com.
