Thx Alec for the info..but when i click on update it goes to the site scans the updates etc..but i cant find anything related to 'java'

When i have tried to install updates they have been unsuccesfull..so there are updates to be made but everytime i try and update them it comes back unsuccsful, however some have been insatled ok..hope this makes sense.

Java is Sun's baby and Microsoft and Sun have had a lover's tiff,
Microsoft decided not to include java in ie6, instead offers to download a version which is a couple of years old!
