It is possible that you have multiple versions of java on your computer, I would go to add/remove programs via your control panal and remove the older versions of java as they can clash. Also here are the steps to clear the cache which may help:

Clearing Cache: Java
In order to delete the Java cache and objects, which is different from the browser cache and temporary internet files; using the latest version of Sun Java, 1.5.x please follow these steps if you are also using Windows. If you are not sure if you have the latest version of Sun Java or not, please click here and follow the instructions.

Once you are sure you are using the latest version of Sun Java, please follow these instructions to delete the Java cache and objects if you're using Windows.

Click the following things in order: Start -> Control Panel -> Java -> 'General' tab.
Then, click the Delete Files button located in the Temporary Internet Files section.
Next, make sure all three boxes are selected, and click OK.
This should probably be done whenever you encounter a problem with the way a game is functioning. Restarting your computer after doing so can also help the performance of the game.




Clearing Cache: Internet Explorer 6.x and 5.x
Here's how to clear your cache with Internet Explorer 6.x browsers:
Launch your Internet Explorer browser.
Click on the 'Tools' menu at the top of the browser.
Click on 'Internet Options' from the drop-down menu.
Click on the 'Delete Cookies' button.
Click on the 'Delete Files' button.
Click 'OK'.
Close your browser and restart Internet Explorer.


Good luck, hope it helps.
