Well, I've been trying to update my Java but apparently it gave me some weird problems.

"This software has already been installed on your computer. Would you like to reinstall it?"
If I click yes, it shows
"This action is only for valid products that are currently installed."

I've googled this problem but they all just gave the same answer.
"Do this, download this, run this"
I tried lots of things and I hope you guys can help me.

I tried
JavaRA
Tried CCleaner and a registry cleaner.
Tried uninstalling anything Java.
Deleted pogram files/java


This stuff is really annoying me, I hope you guys can help me get my Java back.

PS: I had no clue where to post this......lol.
Is this the right section? 0_O.
 
Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> make a list of all Java programs there and paste it here.

Please include the name of the operating system you are using and the amount of RAM installed.

I'm not sure what programs use java, but I already removed all java programs
I use Windows XP
3072MB of Ram
 
Just thought I would tell you.
I fixed the problem.
I deleted some registry keys
Removed a IE8 Java plugin
And boom, the installation started working lol.
 
Glad you resolved it. I wouldn't have sent you into the Registry to do it- you were just lucky! Chances are the had the wrong plug-in in the first place!
