Appletviewer Please Help

Question

I feel bad about asking help. But I don't know where else to turn to. I searched the archives to no avail. I'm not sure this is a CLASSPATH problem or what but every time I run appletviewer I get "I/O exception while reading: E:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\e:\java\ticker.class (The system cannot find the path specified)" Now obviously that is not a valid path. It looks like it's concated two different paths together and I don't exactly know WHAT path it is reading in the first place. Is this the CLASSPATH path? Or simply the PATH path? I don't understand. I don't know how to get Ms-Dos to display the current setting for CLASSPATH. I know how to set CLASSPATH= which I've tried many times setting the path to the correct directory or setting it to null with "set CLASSPATH=" Anyone help? I'd love to start to get to work on my java studies and I won't be able to until I can get this to work. Funny thing, it WAS working only a week ago before it started doing this and I don't have a clue why. When I run appletviewer from the ms-dos prompt, it seems to work for a moment, but then just returns to the prompt. No error. I get the error when I run appletviewer from windows run. (had to break it right before it closed the window to see the error it was displaying)

Hi,
Gather patience, don't worry, say by step:
what your Operation System (Win9x, WinNT, ??);?
what in your PATH, CLASSPATH;?
where put it "E:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\e:\java\ticker.class"?
how and where you run your applet?
what is that "E:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\e:\java\ticker.class"?
If it a PATH, put between pathes " ; " and take out ticker.class:
PATH E:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\; e:\java\and run
appletviewer ticker.htmlticker.html must contain:
<applet code=ticker.class width=200 height=200>
</applet>
Good Luck,
