Two Q's here.

Where did you get java from? (Should be java.sun.com)

What version is currently installed? (open a MS DOS Command prompt , type 'java -version' without the quotes obviously and let me know what it says.Just the top line something like "java version 1.5.0_05")

Its either

The plugin for your browser hasn't realised that its been updated and is still pointing to an old version that has now been removed Or...

It could just be that the chatroom software was written to run on an old version of Java, by installing a new version it stops working as it depends on what we call class files that are no longer part of the java language. (Java is a living language and constantly improves, the standard says that classes can be marked as deprecated which means they will be removed in the next version.
