Reinstall both LW & Java; Reinstallation Technique
For Vista, you should right-click installer & choose run as Administrator. If still issues try the other fixes point 3 & 5 in Fixes for LW link.

For Windows 7, set both Java & LW to run as Administrator.
If still issues try changing LW's compatibility mode; for win 7 there's many options to try.
