Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

The other day, I thought I would play a yahoo game for the first time in a while, only to find my Java wasn't working. I updated to the latest version, and still nothing. The same thing happened in every browser I used, so I figured it wasn't Firefox.

Now, before I go any further, I'll tell you what I have tried. I tried uninstalling Java and then reinstalling it, and it had no effect. I tried removing all the old versions of Java using a separate program, and it had no effect. I tried turning off my Firewall (the Windows one, and I don't have any other) and had no effect. I tried removing all old versions of Java, downloading the offline installation and then installing it while not connected to the internet, and it had no effect. I tried turning off User Account Control, and it had no effect. I tried turning off IPv6 and it had no effect. I tried removing any spyware or viruses that might have been preventing it from working, then reinstalling it, making sure any Firewalls were not working, and it had no effect.

I have also made sure that I am not using a proxy and I have JavaScript enabled. This I also the second forum I have posted this problem on, having never found an answer for my issue that actually worked.

So anyway, here's my console readout (or whatever its called):

I have, at this point, pretty much given up hope, but if you know anything that could help me or if I have overlooked something obvious, I would be very happy to hear it.
