Am Unable To Configure & Enable JRE 6 Update 21

[Nathan Bahn]

Attention all--

The problem:  this web
page<http://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=lobby.jsp&eventid=164061&sessionid=1&key=83AA8E95C2CA30D0D5A5A3AC3FBA8E4E&eventuserid=39463704>
demands
that I use Firefox *AND* JRE 6 update #21 to properly run the multi-media
presentation.  Java.com says that I don't have JRE 6 update #21 -- it always
says that I have update #18.  Sooo.....

I can follow the audio better! (the audio is piss-poor in some places)
