Hi Dick, > What is the output of this: > > C:> java -version
On the XP machine (ie the one I'm sitting at now ;)): java version "1.6.0_11" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing) > This will tell if java is in your path, and also what version of the > Java Virtual Machine is installed? Do you mean the Java Runtime Versions? If so I have 1.6.0_11, 1.6.0_07, and 1.5_0_06 enabled. I just went to the Sun website where there's a JVM tester. It says "the latest version of the JRE is installed and running correctly on your system". > Why are you running Windows? I assume its because you have some Heh. Actually I have two Linux machines. One is dedicated to a specific task and works pretty well. The other machine is my fourth attempt at creating a usable, general purpose Linux PC. The various, fundamental reasons why it was a failure are beyond the scope of this mailing list, but since you mention it I will say this. I built the machine with a new, paid-for copy of SuSE 9.0. Within a year SuSE had removed *all* support for 9.0 from their website. Google virtually any Windows problem and you'll find it's been answered on one forum or another, and any necessary update files, no matter how ancient, will be on ... the MS website.
