Doing it until it works and then clicking "do not show again" is not
a
very satisfactory workaround. Is it true that once you kill the
welcome
screen that you don't see the problem again and can run all the
demos?
The very short java error is strange. Usually there is a page of
information with a few hidden hints.
I'd guess at some kind of Java race condition. Its use of pseudo
multi-threading can sometimes get confused.
Anything special about the hardware? Dual processor or whatever?
When you say 504 works every time I assume that you are running it so
as
to get the weclome splash screen as that seems to be the trigger.
Unless I get reports from other systems failing or more tidbits I'm
not
sure what to do about this.
