Hi Ron

Try this, Roll back your java to "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12"
Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Use this Blue Link to get "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12" Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one, 4th one down.
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
When Download is completed.
Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java.

working on it now...i will get back to you...thanks

Sorry I fixed the link, try now
