If you would like me to test a website requiring older versions of Java, post it and I will.
FYI, I'm running only 1 version of Java, the one posted above.

You should need only the latest version, which is backwards compatible.
Any specific reason for that requirement?
I would start by uninstalling ALL the J2SE runtimes you find in Add or Remove Programs and reboot.
Now delete the folder C:\Program Files\Java and reboot again.
Download and install the lateste Java JRE 5.0 update 6 from here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1
Reboot one more time and test. It should be OK with any Java website.
