Java 7-5 screwup

Why has the latest Java update (7-5) buggered up my system. Pardon my language but I am getting increasingly frustrated, I cannot play any games which use Java.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Java 7-5, then uninstalling Java 7-5 and uninstalling/reinstalling both Firefox and Java (the problem is on Internet Explorer as well). No luck.
I then tried uninstalling Java and Firefox, reinstalling Firefox with Java 6. Still no luck.
The games will work with Java 4 (which I had before the blasted automatic update), but I can't find it to download.
Does anyone else have the same problem and what is the solution?

Hello AveryTomDeaconH and welcome to the forums :party:

I like to try and pick up the threads that don't get replied to, but I'm in the middle of my A-level exams at the moment, so my reply times might not be very fast. Just be warned :)

Let's try removing all traces of every Java installation:

JavaRA

You have an outdated version of Java installed on your computer. Older versions of Java are riddled with vulnerabilities, so we need to remove these.
  1. Please go to the following link: Download JavaRa | SingularLabs
  2. Click on

    located next to Windows Binary (.zip)to download JavaRa
  3. Save this file to your desktop
  4. Right click on the downloaded file, click Extract All then click on Extract
  5. Once the files have extracted, go into the folder and double click on JavaRa.exe
  6. From the drop down menu, please select your first language and click on Select
  7. When JavaRa opens, click on Remove Older Versions then click on Yes
  8. When that finishes, click on Search For Updates
  9. When prompted, select Update Using jucheck.exe
  10. When it finishes updating, reboot your computer
