Problem with java

Avalyon el'Hattarr · Post by **Avalyon el'Hattarr** » Thu Nov 08, 2007 9:19 pm

I've reistalled windows yesterday and I can't get java to work .. If i use Run>javaws like i used to, i get an error "javaws not found" and if I try to open the game client directly with javaws, nothing happens..
Any ideas on how I may fix this?

1. You do not have to write "problem with java". Its like you write "problem with problem". Just write "java". We know you got a problem then

2. Did you install java?

3. Did you tried "javaws -viewer" ?

Did you restart your computer after you installed it?

yes lol, this is going on since yesterday ...

I hope I don't have to reinstall windows all over again just for a stupid program that refuses to work

Try installing java again?

Maybe the setup wasn't completed successfully. If it was, I recall java will tell you if you try to install it.

No not UNinstall.

Just install it, use the setup file or redownload it.

Edit: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp <- You can check if java is installed properly in that website.

this happens when i try to reinstall it: "bin\java-rmi.exe: old file not found. However a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match."

You could try that, I guess. [source]

Edit: Actually, rename that file and add '_old' or something at the end. Better and safer I've read.

Tried installing an old version of java? The new versions have been crap for me.
