I posted my problem on the Java website, asking for the Java 6v32 download, and
they referred me to you...as I told them, I just got a new Toshiba Sattelite
laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit OS.  when setting it up, Java came up and told me
to update to Java 7, and how to uninstall older, less safe versions.  So I did. 

Then, since I do not use Microsoft Office apps much, I didn't want to spend the
money, I just thought I would use Open Office, as it worked fine for me on my
old laptop with XP OS.  So I downloaded it, and when trying to use it, it kept
popping up the error message-- something about Open Office needs a JRE and to
install one.  Well, after doing a bunch of research and finding out what a JRE
even is!  I went to Java and tried to get Java 6 v 32 to download.  On Java,
they did NOT want to let me have version 6 at all, but finally I got 6v33...and
I am STILL getting the error messages.  And I wrote to Java, like I said, and
they sent me to you...does this mean that I MUST shell out the money (which I
don't have now) to get Microsoft Office just so I can open my XL spreadsheets
from old Open Office and Works apps ?
