Hello Malke,
Thank you for your reply.
I do have *Vista Ultimate SP1 64bit* system.
I uninstalled Java and installed 64bit Java but its not working for me
when I verify.
In the *Add/Remove/Programs* it shows Install String beside icon. The
Java icon is showing shell icon and not showing the original Java icon.
Also when I go to *Options/Advanced/Internet Explorer/* there is no
listing for Java after installing 64bit.
Out of curiousity I went back and did a factory reinstall and 32bit
java *6u6* is installed and listed in *x86 Program Files* folder. There
is no 64bit listed.
Is there a way to get 64bit installed correctly so it will verify?
