it was the new java on this site! lol. so what can i possiby do? i have ripped everything out formatted re-installed and downloaded the program again but still the same error. maybe i deleted something i shouldnt have regarding java runtime>? because in add or remove it used to have two parts now it has one. could this be the problem? were can i go to retrieve this missing piece (if this is the case)
Well, here's the thing. If the java program in question is buggy, then there's nothing you can do to the JVM (practically speaking) to fix it. You have to debug the program.
What is this program that you downloaded? Is it an applet that you're running? Are you running a jar file? Are you compiling the program yourself?
You do understand the diff between a java program (the java source in .java files and the compiled program in .class or .jar files) and the JVM, right?
