I haven't tried yet earlier versions of Java runtimes. I'll try them, but first let me show you what I got when I went to
http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

(I get the same thing in both Firefox and IE)
And the correct result according to them (result which I didn't get) is:
I think I'll try earlier versions. The "find" problem does not bother me as much as the "User accounts" one. If only I could fix it. Java.com's help page said that in case the Java Control Panel is blank or gray (it isn't for me), I should disable anti-aliasing. I've disabled it on my Geforce 6100 and restarted my computer, but that didn't fix the problem.
Edit: Where do you get older versions?
