Hi,

Logon on as ADMIN

Try this

Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&displaylang=en

and if needed ;

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

Do both of these

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Tab - click Restore then click Reset - Apply / OK

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab -  click reset all zones to default - Apply / OK

Close IE

Then use Revo to uninstall Java so you can reinstall it - Free Version

http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo\_uninstaller\_free\_download.html

Reboot.

Now go back to Java and reinstall

http://www.java.com/en/

 ----------------------------------------------------------

If needed - look for something conflicting and reset IE

IE - Tools - Manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, this is no longer needed but Java still installs it

and it causes issues - you ever update Java go back in and disable it again.) Look for other possible problems.

Windows Defender - Tools - Software Explorer - look for issues with programs that do not look right. Permitted

are usually OK and "not permitted" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program ask about it here.

Could be a BHO - BHOremover - Free - standalone program, needs no install, download and run

Startup Programs

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

UPdate Java (besure to go back and disable SSV2 Addon)

http://www.java.com/en/

What antivirus/antispyware/security products are you using? Which have EVER been on your computer

as remnants can cause strange issues.

Hope these help.
