Java Download
The latest version of Java that works with Kronos is Java 1.6.0_31 or 1.7.0_1
Download it here:

Disable Java Updates
The most recent approved version of Java is 6-31, which is NOT the most recent Java update. You can disable Java Updates so you don't accidentally update to a Java version that doesn't work with Kronos.
How-To disable Java automatic updates: http://screencast.com/t/H1gAd6PRTj
Please Note:
- This will only work with a Windows machine, Apple controls the updates to Java.
- If you don't see the update tab, make sure you are updated to version 6-31.
- After you uncheck the "Check for updates automatically" button and hit apply and ok, go back in and make sure that the box is still unchecked. If it's back to being checked, then do this:
- Open Windows Explorer and go to: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
- Then scroll down till you see: javacpl.exe
- Right click on it, and click Properties.
- Click on the Compatibility Tab.
- Check the Run this Program as an Administrator.
- Click Apply, then click Ok.
- Now you can go back to the Control Panel and any changes you make in the Java should stick.
