Hi
You can try Add-Remove pro to
remove Java 
http://www.superwin.com/freeware.htm  or try downloading jre 1.5.8
over its self then uninstall. Also jre 1.5.9 was just released.
Good luck

Hello, chasbox:

Thanks very much for the Add/Remove Pro link. The program worked well. At first, Java Runtime Environment 5.0 update 8, was not on the original list to be removed. But after a little searching I found the uninstall string under another tab and selected and deleted it. Sure enough, the listing in the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove was promptly deleted.

As you suggested, I had already downloaded jre1.0 5.0_08 to reinstall, but the program would not work. Everytime I double-clicked the desktop icon to reinstall, a message popped up saying "You already have this program installed. Please uninstall the old program for a new reinstallation." (A real "Gotcha" or "Catch 22" situation).
And yes, I do have the new jre1.5.9 installed. Now that everything is working correctly again, I suppose I will not need those other files I listed in my first posting.

Anyway, thanks again, and regards.

Bill D
