Have you tried downloading the latest Java update?
Also if the java file is a download try downloading it again.

Try removing all old versions of Java
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml
Then try installing the latest Offline Java Installation

It is only required on some websites or to run Java (Jar) files locally.
It can be a security risk so if you don't require it you are better off without it.

Actually, you're going to need java to run a panoply of applications. With the JRE uninstalled you won't be able to execute a JVM, which is vital to run any program that's been developped in Java. And there are quite a few programs that are written in java.
It's not just about executing .Jar files on a website, its about maintaining your PC ecosystem alive

Yes but if you are not running any programs developed in Java then you don't require the Virtual Machine or the Runtime Environment.

Ridiculous, why do we ALL need it?
I haven't run Java for the last 6 months because I haven't needed it and it has too many recent security problems.
