- Java: We recommend that you turn off Java automatic updates, and remove all older versions already installed on your PC. The newest versions of Java, JRE 1.5.0_8 through JRE 1.5.0_11 tends to freeze Blackboard. Therefore, Java JRE version 1.5.0_7 is the current recommended version. Get the PC Sun Java Runtime Environment, from:
