Go to windows update and download critical updates. Then download Java from sun microsystems.

Java Sun sucks, get the real java :

Java is bloated. However, M$ virtual machine will soon become obsolete.

You can get Java™ 2 Runtime Environment (https://jsecom15k.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet/LegalPage:~:com.sun.sunit.sdlc.content.LegalWebPageInfo;jsessionid=jsecom15k.sun.com-222%3A4080ad48%3A438c946d36efd3f) here.

The only difference I know is that M$ got sued bigtime over their version of it. They have already started the process of no longer making it available for download, etc. That was some time ago.

I don't know all the full details but to put it plain. Litigation.
