Thanks for the link, but what I meant was "Where in Vista do I look to see what version of Java is installed"? Sorry about that, I haven't been able to find the "Remove programs" thing yet, if it's there at all

From the control panel (Vista Mode, not classic), there is a Programs Category with which you can view installed programs, or add/remove programs

I coulda swore I looked there, as well as the classic............... hmmm

Here's how I uninstalled the browsers that didn't work properly:
I used the search function on the start button and typed uninstall.............lol

Works:

Yahoo Toolbar 6.2.4.0 (with Anti-Spy)
Google Toolbar 3.0.131.0
WinPatrol 9.8.1.0

NOTE: To install WinPatrol, when you get to the download page HERE, do NOT click Free Download - Install WinPatrol English (9.8.1.0). Instead, click right under that where it says Click here for WinPatrol Alternate Setup.

Only the "Alternate Setup" will work.

Works:

AIMLite 3.0

Every so often I get a balloon saying that "this version of AIM is incompatible with this version of Windows" or something like that. It wasn't up long enough to write it down. But it appears to be working.

Works, but with some issues

PowerDVD 4.0 -- The software does not work properly with some Graphics Cards (having TV-Out), leading to the error that copy-protected DVDs cannot be played. DVDs NOT having the copy protection can be viewed normally.
