Tim, First try starting by just double clicking on Jmol.jar...The Jmol.bat file probably hasn't been updated in a long time as Windows now starts jar files with a double click.
Then try updating your Java version. There were some buggy initial releases of 1.6. I think they are beyond 1.6.0_13, but I'm not running a Window's system so am not sure which versions are available for Windows. If that doesn't fix it. Send me the listing from the Jmol java console (accessible at the bottom of the help menu) and a screen shot of your open dialog. Jonathan P.S. I'm also forwarding this to the jmol-users discussion list in case somebody else has seen this.
