Re: "How To Use Oekaki?" Guide

Postby Kat » Fri Mar 27, 2015 12:35 pm

Hello. So, I'm trying to use Oekaki on my laptop. I know that Oekaki requires you to download Java in order to use it, but when I go to the link and click on the "Windows Online" version of Java and try to download it, it says "This file is designed for a PC using Windows software. This is not compatible your devise which runs Google OS. Please search the Chrome webstore for a suitable replacement app." I've never had this problem before, likely because my old computer was a Windows and apparently this one isn't? I love computers, but I'm not very good with them because I've always had hand-me-down ancient desktops my entire life. This is the first time I've ever had a newer devise. Anyway, I did some looking around, but I'm always wary of downloading things from sites that I know nothing about. Is there a Google Chrome Java download that is safe for me to use, or will I simply not be able to draw on Oekaki using this laptop?

I don't use a laptop, so I really don't know, but I think the problem is that sometimes laptops are really junky :/ Anyways, I think you should download a virus detector BEFORE thinking about the replacement. After that, you can download a replacement and check for viruses. That way you're computer won't die c:

I've had this account since 2014 (I think?) and I was a bit, ah, immature back then. I apologize for anything I did or caused back then.

    hmm, that's because you run google os, and there's no java for it yet. it's like trying to use the oekaki on a phone. you just can't.

Yeah, I eventually figured that out.
I bought a pro tablet and don't even have a computer to use it with.
It sucks. :\
