More info?)
Just to let you know I finally was able to get the new version of Java.
I downloaded the package to install offline. I installed the new version
and then deleted the two other versions. It went real smooth with no
problems, I went back to Java web site and checked to see if it was activated
ok and it was so now I have the new version installed.
Thanks for the help.
