ok guys i have looked about on the net for agies now and only found working fixes and help for linux users ( different distros).

Cant seem to find one for windows which is my problem. Im using the cmd java from the consol but i get this error

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Hope some 1 can help me out here.

From what I see, try uninstalling java and then re-install it. Also make sure you are pointing to the java runtime in your path environment variable. Also double check the spelling of ... well everything. I hope this helps.

Done, done and done, i have re-installed about 5 times in total, everything is added in the user veriables path section as well as system veriables "classpath".

I know the user veriable path is correct because java, javac etc none of them used to work. now they do all except java which is weird as they are both in the same folder.

I can however use java when i do the full link C:\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\java.exe so at the min each time i want to do somthing i have to us
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_15\bin\java.exe nameOfProjectHere which is starting to piss me off lol.

It does find java when using the java command just spurts out this stupid error and yet when i link directly to it, it doesnt
