566487 2007-07-06 10:33:00 Is there more than one version of Java installed??

Uninstall ALL of them. Sun Java has now been updated to 6 update 2.

Have a read of some of these (www.google.co.nz the+same+process+caused+an+error.&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a)

566488 2007-07-06 22:32:00 Hi Speedy

Can you clarify the situation for a dummy like me. When I go to Add/Remove I have listed -

(1) J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 with separate entries listed showing updates 4,6,9,10,and 11 installed.

(2) Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 with separate entries listed showing updates 1 and 2 installed

Can I now delete from Add/Remove all those entries pertaining to v5.0 and if so thats all I need to delete, there will be nothing elsewhere requiring deletion??

Thanks
Smithie

566489 2007-07-07 04:38:00 Smithie: Leave those entries for now but next time you update Java it will be a good idea to uninstall ALL of those entries first . Follow these steps to remove the older version Java components:

1 . Close any open programs you may have running, especially your web browser

2 . Go to Control Panel

3 . Open Add or Remove Programs

4 . Click once on any item listing Java Runtime Environment in the name
* Not every version of Java will begin with "Java" so be sure to read each entry in the list

5 . Click the Remove or Change/Remove button

6 . Follow steps 4 and 5 as many times as necessary to remove all versions of Java . ** If you are asked to reboot at any point during the uninstallations, please do so . Then go back to Add/Remove and continue with the removals .

7 . Next, navigate to and delete:
C:\Program Files\Java <<<<<<this folder if found

8 . Reboot your PC once all Java components have been removed .

9 . Proceed with reinstalling Java by going to this site ( . java . com/en/download/manual . jsp" target="_blank">www . java . com) and downloading the latest version . Save it, do not run it .

When the download is complete, close the browser and install it .

Note: Your Java may be set to automatically update . If it is, it would be a good idea to disable this so that you can perform the clean out as above .
