WHAT isn't working?

Go to this link then report back and tell us EXACTLY what did or didn't happen:
http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

Nice thing about that link is that it also has trouble shooting instructions (you will have to click on some links) and even download and installation instructions if problems persist.

One problem is one thing, the other is another.

Java issues are legendary. Same for Vista.
