java problem

i've noticed that my java installation is broken. please look at the attachments: they show the screenshots of the "java plugin settings" applications that you can find in /Applications/Utilities folder.
the 1.3.1 application is ok, but the other ones are broken.
i've tried to delete the java prefs inside ~/Library/Preferences and i've also tried to reinstall java 1.4.2 and 1.5 updates but without luck.
if i create a new user on my mac, java is ok, but on my personal account is broken, so it seems to be a config issue.

any help?
thanks

i've tried to delete the caches, it doesn't work.
the strange thing is that i've another mac in the same situation. they both run mac os x 10.4.6 (PPC).
instead my new macbook pro 17" with 10.4.6 (intel) has no problem with all java versions.
 
so no help?
sorry if i'm annoying but this is a serious problem and it seems not to be isolated, anyway i've tried to look on google but i've found no solution.
you are my last hope.
 
I also see this with the Java 1.4.2 Preference file (/Applications/Utilities/Java/Java 1.4.2 Plugin Settings) but not with the Java 5.0 Preference file (/Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE5.0 Java Preferences).
 
i'm still looking for a fix for this problem?
on the web i can't find any solution.
any help?
 
Have you tried deleting the com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist file located in ~/Library/Preferences? That might do the trick.
 
i have no com.apple.java.util.prefs.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences folder, neither in /Library/Preferences folder.
 
i haven's solved this problem yet, the sticky thread on java corruption is useless for me :(
