i actually spelled mine "persistence" and it worked. i had the same problem when i first installed on a win32 system and i just created the directory and it worked upon loading up the second time. the file that is called transaction.state does not need to be created (in my instance). i am using jdk1.3 from sun on a windows 98 machine. just give it a try and create the directory with that spelling i gave you and see how it goes (it can't hurt :-) hope all goes well.
