Same Newbie Problem again... help?

Hey,

I have a problem i can't resolve.

When i try to compile anything (even the helloWorld applic), the DOS told me that the javac command is not an internal or external command.

The same quetion everybody asks! I've tried reading solutions in various forums but I haven't been able to solve the problem.

What could I do?

My OS is Win XP.

The thing is, the javac.exe file exists but when I try to find it using cmd - it doesn't.

Also, when I type PATH, it is directed someplace else, to Program Files, instead of Program.

Help...?

Try moving to the directory where your javac program is (if you're not sure, use the find files program in windows). Then execute javac from there.

In order to use ANY program from a command prompt, the program must be in the current working directory, OR the folder where it is located must be in the PATH list, OR you must use the fully qualified directory listing when accessing it.

Since I don't know exactly where your version of java is installed on your machine, I can't tell you exactly, but find the program, and change the current directory of your command prompt to the one containing javac.
