I had the same error message today after upgrading. To solve it, from within OpenOffice Writer (Possibly the others as well), I went to Tools -> Options -> Java After a few seconds, a screen with Sun Microsystems Inc.1.6.0_06 and Sun Microsystems Inc 1.6.0 with accessibility comes up. I ticked the box for version 1.6.0_06, restarted OpenOffice Writer and the error message went away. Hope that helps
