how should I roll back java?
techidave:
Revo Uninstaller??
cyberdiva:
There is a (free) tool called: JavaRA which is supposed to be able to cleanup Java installations on a Windows PC.

I strongly second Shades' recommendation. I was having a lot of problems with Java on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit computer, including old versions that supposedly had been uninstalled. I finally used JavaRA, and it did a terrific job of cleaning things up. I was then able to install the most recent Java version, which I hadn't been able to do until then. That was months ago, and (knock on wood, salt over my shoulder), I've had no Java problems since then.

I used it sometime in 2014. I forget the exact issue but it must not have done any damage since I still have it on. Worth a try for sure. :Thmbsup:

The JavaRa crew now say that there's no longer a need for the software as the Oracle Java installer does a thorough job of removing older versions. On my own systems I have found this to be true.

+1. I just updated today and the installer found both the 64 and 32 bit obsolete versions and removed them.
