Any ideas on a fix as it being to do my head in

Many thanks for your time

Try going to the java.com site and downloading the offline installer (it may take a little finding). Close all your browsers and install that. I find this work best. BTW I still use JRE 6 as apps we use are not certified to JRE 7 and just don't work, there are also fun issues with apps in Firefox due to increased security in the latter and badly written apps.

Big question to ask yourself though if it's a personal computer rather than a work one - do you actually need Java at all?

If you don't immediately know the answer as yes, then it could be worth uninstalling it completely and then seeing if anything breaks
