Windows ME jdk 1.2.1 error
Can anyone help me with this?
I just bought a new computer with Windows ME installed. However, I cannot get jdk 1.2.1 to work. The installation process runs smoothly, but whenever I try to run the compiler or open the class path, the following error messages appear:
==========================================
For Compiler
Javac has caused an error in MSVCRT.DLL
Javac will now close.
If you continue to experience problems,
try restarting your computer.
-
For trying to run class files:
Java has caused an error in MSVCRT.DLL
Java will now close.
If you continue to experience problems,
try restarting your computer.
==========================================
I need to get this program to work! Does anyone know how to fix it? (Before anyone asks, yes I have tried rebooting and reinstalling, and neither has worked.)
Try renaming the msvcrt.dll which is delived with the jdk to msvcrt.old.
If the error still occurs, copy the msvcrt.dll fromm the windows\system directory to the directory in your jdk.
If it still doesn't help, check the version/date of the msvcrt.dll in the windows system directory. If the version is 5.xxx, then it is propably overwritten by an installation program (maybe from the jdk itself). Try to find if there is somewhere a backup of this dll.
New Version of MSVCRT.DLL
The Win32 version of the Java 2 SDK and Java 2 Runtime Environment contains version 6.00.8337.0 of the MSVCRT.DLL file from
Microsoft. The SDK and Runtime Environment installer will install this version of MSVCRT.DLL on your system if and only if it is
newer than the MSVCRT.DLL file that may already be on your system.

You should upgrade you're OS ME, 2000, and XP have some serious problems with JAVA.
I would recomend upgradeing to Windows 95, or NT.
PS: note upgrade implies new functionality not possable with other version, so the above is correct, and it is a downgrade from Win95/NT to ME, 2000, or XP that is a fact. beleve it or not!
