I am unable to install Java (Java.com). Everytime I try I get the error "The installer package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can open it, or contact the application Vendor to verify that this is a valid installer package".

So what should i do?

Check to see if you find any unwanted entry in Add/Remove Programs or Internet Explorer - Add/On's section (Tools - Internet Options - Programs -> Manage Add On's). If you found one, remove/disable this entry.

What is the unwanted entry it mention above? I have Java 6 in the add/remove programme list.

I am glad that we were sucessful.

For Opera do the same thing that we did with the other browser. Using Opera, go to the Java site and just download the most current version. You may want to uninstall the old version first.

I am off to bed now, any problems just post and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Always make a system restore point first.

Not using Opera, myself, I cannot give you any help, from personal experience. The best information that I can find online will be shown to you below. Even this information does not specifically mention Opera.

I do appreciate your kind words and rep that you have given, in consideration of my helping solve your first problem on this thread

How do I enable Java in my web browser?
