Anyway the good news is that after a bit of tinkering I managed to fix the problem by reinstalling java.

The steps:
1. Dowload the Java142Update2 installation image from http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...update142.html.
2. Copy Java142Update2.pkg from the image file to be able to edit it.
3. Show package contents.
4. Open Contents/Resources/VolumeCheck with TextEdit.
5. Comment out the whole if statement under the comment "# If 1.4, do not update".
6. Install the package.
I hope I'm in the right forum! Can you please explain to me step by step how to perform steps 2,3,4,5, above. My HD keeps telling me there is nothing that needs updating so I want to try this workaround. Thank you
