After you remove ALL the old versions you have (through the Control Panel applet "Add/Remove
Programs")
In the middle of the following page find download and install; "Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) 6"

Sharon and David, Thank You Very Much for your help, I was able to uninstall
all of the Java also with the help of the Windows clean up tool. That is all
except one, SEv 1.3.1_02 I get an message that reads, Unable to locate the
installation log file 'C:\ProgramFiles\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02\Uninst.isu
Uninstallation will not continue. Can either of you help me out? I would
like to get rid of all Java before installing Java 6. Thanks Again, Mike..
