I keep getting this error...

Error: could not open `C:\Users\Don\Downloads\java\jre1.7.0_75\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'

Any ideas?

It's a problem of your java installation.
Seems also strange that java was installed to your download directory.

Best way to go: Remove all java runtime environment installations and do a proper reinstall.
There are probably multiple possible reasons and also faster solutions but it's hard to say which problem your system exactly has.

E.g.

Maybe you have this problem (but maybe another):
I checked my environment variables - JAVA_HOME & PATH and they all refer to c:\java. So this was bit frustrating. After sometime I found that the default installation also copied java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe to C:\Windows\System32 (i.e. uninstall of JRE didnt went well). I just removed them and voila, I'm back on track. That annoying error is no longer popping.

What operating system and what version of os do you use?
What's the language of the system?
What does "java -version" show if you enter it in a console window?
