My new computer came in October 2006 with J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 (whatever that is) and I see in my list of Add/Remove Programs that I have about 6 Updates ending with Update 11 .... a total of close to 1 GB of software that I'm carrying. My question is, have those updates been installed, and if not, should I install them, and if so.....how? Search shows that I have 'Update 5.msi' at several places.

Thanks, "O"......went there and it told me that 6.1 is the latest, and that I have 6.1 already!!!! I'll try deleting some of the older updates using Add/Remove but I wonder why 6.1 doesn't show in my list..... WBL

Late report, OAO: Deleted all of the Version 5 updates, and, incidentally, found Version 6.1 in the list.... so all is well, and thank you. WBL

Good to hear , I would keep that site that I gave you as a bookmark because Java gets updated often , So you can visit that site to get the latest , At the moment 6.1 is the latest :)

And if you install the Java with its defaults, it auto checks for updates, unless you disabled this in msconfig or similar
