When I got the balloon, I "obeyed" it and upgraded. Immediately, the games (Zylom, Pogo, etc., etc.) were so messed up they would stop mid-play and shut down my whole browser. So I uninstalled TM 6 Update 23, and they play fine again - well, almost perfectly, certainly better.
I'm sure I need Java, so should I reinstall it? Any caveats?

You can find older versions of Java here.

The 22 and 23 updates did not contain any security fixes. So you could safely go back to v21.
