Okay, if I have to fly blind here...
Make certain your Java and your Eclipse share the same bittedness.
Then, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini.

I would install a proper Java. If you're going to use Eclipse to develop
Java applications, you'll need a JDK anyway. Whatever the case, install
a JRE or JDK from Sun (java.sun.com, then hover over Downloads button
and choose Java for Developers). You don't have to install this on your
Windows host; you can just drop it privately somewhere, e.g.:
C:\Users\(private)\mystuff\jdk1.6.0_27. Then, edit your eclipse.ini,
specify it with the -vm option (see the Eclipsepedia link I sent) and
try again.

According to what you posted, I can see that you a) are not necessarily
using a Sun JRE and b) that's it's not a JDK. You can run Eclipse on a
mere JRE if you like, but you can't really do Java development. The JRE
you are using is unclear. The reason I know this is:
-vm C:\Windows\system32\javaw.exe
I would expect something either like the path I gave you or something like:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe
if you had specified a JRE installed in the usual place the installer
would drop it.
In either case, you've not caught the spirit of
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini.
If you want a fairly detailed and perhap tedious summary of this, the
following link should get you running or bore you to tears:

Please reply with the URL that does not work. Both URLs I sent you work.
I don't usually type URLs, but copy and paste them from my browser
address line; that way, I know I'm not jerking you around.

There are many tricks to posting it leaving off http://, adding spaces, etc.

No, this is not important.

If you can't get to that link, then I can't imagine what you can do. How
could you download Eclipse in the first place? Etc. Maybe there's
something wrong with your connection that's only temporary? Keep trying
until you get that link. * * Everybody * * uses that link when they
start setting up Eclipse.

I looked at this tutorial. Besides being a little old (we're three full
versions past Ganymede now), the explanations are simplistic and he
completely skips over how to install Eclipse. If that weren't enough,
he's not a Java programmer. There are standards in Java he completely
ignores.
I'd like to help, but as you can't seem to see the links I've posted,
it's hard to do so.
Should you be able to reach
http://www.javahotchocolate.com/tutorials/eclipse-summary.html, use it
to learn how to download and set up Eclipse. Once you get Eclipse
installed and working, the workbench itself has a link you can click to
tutorials which are very good.
However, ...
While I have tried it out, but elected to stay with Eclipse which the
vast majority of developers who write commercial software use for Java
development, I would suggest you look at NetBeans; you might find it
easier. It's a much more beginners' environment, I think. (I hope I
don't take too much flack from the rest of the forum for suggesting this.)
