    You only need 1 JRE installed, uninstall all your Java runtimes the latest is J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5

    Java is a Cross-Platform Programming Language, often referred to as Java Script or Java. In order to run applets written in Java you must have a Java Runtime installed. Many Web Sites make use of Java; and if you want to view the content on those sites, you need a Java Runtime installed.

    Java 5.0 Update 5 is the latest Sun Microsystems Java Version. You need to uninstall all the other versions you have installed, they are old and have security flaws.

    To install the newest version download from HERE.

    Yes, uninstall them all using Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Then install the Version from the link I posted.

    Yes, this Version of Jav is from Sun Microsystems. The installation is straight foward, download the current version to your desktop, double-click on the downloaded program and follow the prompts.

    If you have problems post in the Software forum.
