If not then you maybe need to check your JAVA_HOME and path settings in the environment settings.

In Vista you go to the control panel, then you will see an extra java button.Click that then click the far right hand tab and you will see "Standard Java for Browser" and then a check box for IE, see if that is checked or not.
Not sure if that is the problem or not but maybe it will help.

Thanks, I will give it a try. What do you use for your browser?
I use a combination of Firefox, Chrome, sometimes Safari, and IE6 when I must (for work only, IT only supports IE6 'cause internal apps don't work on other browsers).
I have my path statement in my autoexec.bat file, but when I restart w7, i cant use my java or javac commands until i manually execute my autoexec.bat file. Any ideas why?
And there is a setting somewhere I am supposed to setup for Java to run properly - I remember it from when I started on this java direction - Im sure thats the reason for these issues - do you have any ideas ? Thanks.

The plugin is the bridge between the browser and JRE. My suggestion would be to visit www.java.com and do the install from inside IE - to make sure the plugin that installs is appropriate for your browser.
Steve Luke wrote:Install a JRE, and check your menus to make sure Java is enabled. I don't know where it is in IE8, but somewhere there is a preferences menu that allows you to enable things like Java, Javascript, Flash, ActiveX, etc... You will need to find that menu item and make sure Java is enabled.

The official download page is here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
The most current release version at this moment is Java SE 6 update 23.
Note that there are also early access releases of Java 7, but that is not officially released yet (it will be released at the end of July 2011). Don't use Java 7 yet unless you just want to try out the newest features.

Try to install any program which uses windows installer if it is installed correctly then you have to have correct Java version designed for your platform system installed.
if it is not so->
- Go to Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools, then double click on Computer Management.
- Expand the Services & Applications menu item.
- Double-click Services.
- Double-click Windows Installer and stop the service.
- Launch regedit from run.
- Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer.
- Select the MSIServer subkey.
- Delete this key value.
- Go to microsoft.com and re download the latest version of Windows Installer accoding to your operating system.
if program is installed successfully then you have to uninstall java and reinstall it according to platform you are using.To uninstall any older versions of Java, you can make use of JavaRA – a simple software that removes old, unnecessary and redundant versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Here is a link-
javaRA
thinking it might help you or google for it!
then download the new version from java.sun.com.
