A little advice would help a lot. I do not know how it got screwed up but. I
noticed that the shortcut in control panel for Java does not work. I get
"application not found" when clicking on it. When I try to check Oracle's
website to see if I have it their widget or what ever you want to call it
says I do not have it either. Then when I download the program or JRE I get
a message saying it is already installed and would I like to reinstall it.
At this point I get the message or warning "this action is only valid for
products currently installed. I will be damned if I want to pay Oracle 50
bucks to help me with it so I am hoping someone here can help. Now I do not
know whether this is pertinent or not but the java shortcut in control panel
says it is java 32 bit. I of course am running Windows7 64bit SP1 and use
the 32bit IE9. I am not sure whether there is a registry key I need to
modify or what hence the request for help. Is there a way I can totally
remove it from my computer and start over with fresh install of java or is
there a way to fix it? I have not been able to do anything with it and I am
not sure how it got messed up in the first place. Thanks in advance for the
help.
