Hello, I was just wondering if it's safe to remove my Java update 1 from my programs. When I check my add/remove programs, I have two of them(update 1&2) and they're taking up alot of room on my pc. Thanks to anyone who can help. Oh, I'm running windows xp.

sure it's safe to remove Java (if that's what you want to do)

Thank you for answering. I want to keep my java, just wanted to make sure it was okay to delete the update 1. I went ahead and removed it and everything is working great. Thanks again.

It is a "bug" of Java that it does not remove prior versions.

Anytime there is a Java update, the prior versions should be removed as they can pose a security risk.
