so im not much of a computer wiz so here is my question. I built my own computer 2 months ago. With Windows 7
64-bit. Now just recently I purchased Adobe CS5 and in one of the requirements it says Java Runtime 1.5(32bit) or 1.6. So my question is do i need to download java? or is it alredy installed in the MOBO or was it in one of the drives that came with my components? Or how do i find out if i have java?

Yes, you need to download Java for the CS5 to work.

No, it's not pre-installed in your hardware. Only the BIOS is pre-installed.

Unless you HDD is already installed for your current configuration, which will mean it's second hand, no it's also not included in the drive.

You can check Java installation in the Add/Remove Program list. If it's listed, that means you've installed it. Although I'm not familiar with Windows 7, since I'm using XP. :p

Hope my explanation is clear. :)
