Java will not install. Access denied to Java folder

    This computer is Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 and would not install the online version of Java. So I downloaded the offline version and it said the installation completed. Java based games and such still would not work.

    I went to uninstall it but it would never uninstall. I would allow the program to uninstall (I have never worked with Vista so I don't know how to work with permissions and such) and the uninstaller would just close.

    I tried to manually delete the folder from Program Files put I did not have permission to delete it. I am the system administrator and again, I do not know how to configure permissions for Vista. I have never used it before.

    The Java folder (Java is supposedly installed) is just less than one megabyte. That's definitely not right is it?

    Any help is appreciated.
