Java JDK Problems - Please help!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, but I'm really at a loss. Hopefully someone can tell me what to do. In the process of downloading/installing everything I need to run Eclipse and the Android AVD, I went to the website that BT links to (http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html) to download the Android SDK and all that fun stuff, and I think I did something wrong when I installed the JDK. My computer now has Java 6 Update 16, Java 6 Update 27 (64-bit), Java 7, Java 7 (64--bit), and Java SE Development Kit 7 listed under installed programs. I think it's messing with some of my programs, most notably the one I use to build my website, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. I looked back at the directions on the website (above) and now see that it says JDK 5 or JDK 6, which I must have missed the first time. I downloaded JDK 7 because it was at the top of the list. (Yes, I am really a newbie at this and had even less of a clue then!) My thought is to simply remove the Java 7 installs and install the JDK 6, but I don't know if that will mess with Eclipse or not. I had a horrible time getting it all installed in the first place and I really don't want to do it all over again, but I will if I have to. Any thoughts? BTW, I'm running Windows 7 and Eclipse SDK v. 3.7.0 Thanks in advance!

Sorry - you can disregard this one. I found the answer on the internet. It's pretty simple to change your JDK in Eclipse, so I just uninstalled 7 and installed 6. Works like a charm. Thanks anyway!
