    Java Program not working.
    « on: November 08, 2008, 09:27:13 PM »
    Having trouble with this freeware program I came across. I unzipped it and the first time I double clicked it, it worked. Every other time it did nothing at all.  I installed all the java stuff on my Windows XP computer that I thought could run it. I thought maybe it needed a class of some kind so I tried dragging the "animelamp executable file" into the Java bin's "javac" to make a class file. That didn't work. I have no clue how to get this program to work.

      try the batch file.
      Command prompt comes up for a second, then closes a second later. Nothing happens.

      It's a java program, which usually runs via .class files- here they are packaged in JAR files. which one has the main class is a puzzle in and of itself.


      webcam guy- right click the batch file and select edit. What is inside?

        sounds like there could be a class missing in there. Have you tried reinstalling/re-unzipping the program from the original archive?

          I've unzipped it a few times and re tried running the .bat. It just comes up with the command prompt for a second and then goes away.

            Imageshack automatically puts that link in there.

              It's when you use their "Hotlink for forums(1)" link.
