My pc crashed so we reformatted, of course. Now I'm not sure if JAVA was accidentally installed. No Offense. This pc will never be used to develope web sites or for work. I thought java was not previously in it. I do not remember.

If you are not developing software, you don't need the Java Developer Kit (JDK). But you may wish to install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This allows you run cross-platform applications and web applets which are impossible to run without Java. Here are just a few applets: http://java.sun.com/applets.
Reformatting after a crash sounds rather severe, here is the Java download for Microsoft Windows:

This forum is actually devoted to the Java Desktop System, an alternative desktop operating system which includes a Java runtime engine, an office suite, a browser and an email program.
Good luck!
