I have three old versions/updates of java on my computer that I want to remove. I first went to the control panel, and then to add/remove. The old updates of Java show up on my list, but when I click on the version I want to remove (or any of the java updates in my add/remove window), the usual "change" or "remove" buttons are not there.

How do I remove these old updates of Java from my computer if neither the "change" or "remove" buttons appear when I click on the Java updates in add/remove? Thanks for the help in advance

Hi

I would suggest you try REVO Uninstaller - http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninst...e_download.html

If that doesn't work, come back and let us know.

Good luck.
