I've had my computer for about 6 months now and I realized that some programs will just freeze up my computer when I try to load them. To name a few, the games on the website Pogo.com, Limewire, and a physics program called Phet. I tried to install Phet yesterday when my computer froze, and since then I've been thinking about whats wrong with my computer. I've re-installed Windows twice since I built my computer, so it has to be something wrong with the hardware. Then I thought to myself, and I'm pretty sure all of these programs are written in Java. Does the problem lie within my hard drive, or my RAM?

EDIT: Add a game called Ski Stunt Simulator to that list.
 
YES, as a matter of fact I do!

No jk. It seems that my software firewall (Zone Alarm) was clashing with Java. I had to uninstall it. It never occurred to me that this would be the problem, since some of the things that wouldn't run didn't have to connect to the interwebs.

I had lots of problems like this with Zone Alarm. It just didn't play nice w/ some programs... soooooo I stopped using it. Just outta curiosity... what firewalls does anyone else use? I'm using Sygate Personal now.
