Unfortunately, I can't help you with this, because I've never encountered this problem myself with my Windows 8 and Windows XP machines. If you have a 64bit machine, this problem might have been caused by different 32bit and 64bit Java versions on your machine. (Since both versions can be installed and used independently from each other, they might have different version numbers and registry entries.)
I'd recommend uninstalling
both 32bit
and 64bit versions from your machine and reinstalling the
latest 32bit and 64bit versions from Oracle. (You'll also need to add the Java path to the PATH environment variable.)
(Make sure that there are no Java leftovers in the Windows program folders (C:\Program Files\ or C:\Programme) after uninstalling Java and that there are no Java path related registry entries in the Windows registry, before installing the latest versions.)
