I tried that and SET PATH=C:/jdk1.3/bin in my autoexec bat but nothing changed. The quicktime install put this in
SET QTJAVA="C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext\QTJava.zip"
SET CLASSPATH="C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext\QTJava.zip";.
But applets work and compiling works(just not running apps) so I'm not so sure it's a classpath problem. I'm running Windows ME.
