Registering A File

For what it is worth, I installed the newest Java on Win 7 32 bit in the last day or two and haven't noticed any issues:

I got away from this problem for a whlle, because of other problems that I had to deal with. I just came returned and backtracked. running into the same error with regsvr32 as before. I did reinstall Java after doing a system restore for another problem, but even trying the idea of copying the file into system32 didn't work. For some reason, even though I marked the original msvcr71.dll with .old, it wouldn't copy the new file into the directory. Before marking it old, when I tried to paste the file the window with copy/replace, etc. options opened, but that is when I reverted to marking the file old as I mentioned.

I'am beginning to think that there is something about the latest version of Java that just doesn't agree with W7. I may try an older version instead.

Sorry, there's nothing conflicting with Java and 7. There's something broken on your system if it won't install.

I think you have to install Java for each browser you use. So if you run both IE and Firefox, you would have to install it for each, separately.

Jacee--

I think you are right.

I was thinking of Adobe Flash.

Do this:


Updating Java:

• 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 and 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.

All is well, until I reach the part about removing previous versions. Since I use multiple browsers, some of which are x64 and some not, I assume that I only need to remove the x32 version of Java, since it is my x32 Opera browser with the problem?
