Hi :) This seems to be a well known problem. The latest version of Java that works seems to be around 1.6_32, ie the latest in their 1.6 branch.
TDF are trying to write-out any dependance on Java as it seems far tooo flaky and vulnerable these days. About the only things you still need Java for is 1. if you use Base with the internal backend rather than using Base as a front-end connecting to a proper stable back-end 2. Some of the wizards (which are best avoiding anyway as it's easier to do things properly). 3. A few Extensions which you might not really be using anyway. (Contacting whoever wrote the extension and let them know you like it might encourage them to update it and move away from java) So, 1st step is to try switching off the "Use java runtime?" option in Tools - Options - Java and see if you notice any difference at all. If java is needed for something it will just grumble and let you re-tick the option but you probably don't need it at all now :) If you do then install 1.6_32 alongside whichever version of java you use for everything else. (You can have more than 1 version of java at a time).
