Re: java help

Paste your path var here(so we can see what's going on), the whole idea of the path variable is to allow not using the full path to hit an executeable (it's how javac/appletviewer work like that)...

Okay, next idea (to make sure javac etc are actually there and working);
- Open command prompt
- cd to C:/Program Files/Java/JDK[whatever else]/bin
- type "javac" and make sure it returns something like "usage: javac blah blah blah"...
If it doesn't then post saying so.

Only other suggestion i have is to download the latest version of java and install it (which would of course write to the path variable).

Cheers,
Jamey
