Probably there's only one. In any case, to the left of the Vendor is a little radio button. Is that filled with a small black dot (pressed "down")? Yesterday, for completely other reasons, I upgraded my JRE to 1.5.0.09. The result was that several parts of OOo stopped working and gave me error messages to the effect that my JRE was "defective". By accident I noticed that the button was "up" (clear) and that pressing it solved the problem. I think the idea is that the radio button lets you select which one of several JREs you have installed. But even if there's only one, the button needs to be "down". Oh, I'm on OOo 2.0.4 running Win XP Pro. The messages may be different in other environments.
