I have tried to load it several time only same results and how do i know if i`m using a download manager and how do load it without it

Try it this way:

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.
• Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u17 allows end-users to run Java applications".
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
• Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
• The page will refresh.
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
• Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on programs and features, remove all older versions of Java.
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u17-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.

I tried what jacee said and i still get the same message this is a brand new computer and it didnt have any version of java loaded on it

Thanks to those who tried to help me but it turns out there was something wrong with my computer so i returned it and got another one and it worked just fine no problem loading java or other programs

Thanks again
