Better yet, uninstall all 4 versions of 5.0 and install 6.0.

Scroll down to Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 and hit the
Download button.

Yes, you should be able to uninstall all earlier updates. IF a problem comes up just reinstall the latest and all should be well. Btw, the currently latest is 1.6.0

Thank all you very much. I will immediately uninstall all 5.0 versions and
install the latest. Thanks again. That was extremely helpful.
