Classpath for getting JDK 1.3 to work on Windows XP

Hi,
I've just DL and installed JSDK 1.3 on my home computer which is running Windows XP. I know that I have to set the classpath in order to run Java properly on my pc but what exactly do I set it to?
I tried to set it but it still doesn't work and comes up with a No class found error or something similar.
Does anybody know what to set the classpath to be? when i run a java command from the command line it works i.e. C:>java HelloWorld
but when i try anything else like C:>javac HelloWorld.java, it just doesnt work.
Any help would be welcome
Thanks
C.W.

If you do a java -version you will probably be running microsoft java. Set your system path to the where you installed the jdk along with the bin. (i.e. c:\jdk-1.3.0\bin) This will let you find all of the java exe's when you are in the dos command line. You can set the path by right clicking on my computer and finding the environment settings button. Also set your classpath in here, for instance .\; if you want it to find the current directory you are working on or I usually set it to at least .\;c:\java; so I can throw all my api's I download into it. Hope this helps.
FYI
path is where the system looks for executible files and
classpath is where java looks for class files.

    Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

    Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

  • How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

    Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ? 
    I'll keep looking around.

    If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
    But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
    If  you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.

  • Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

    Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit.  The program installed ok and the S/N took.
    The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
    The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p.  4:3....
    The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
    The video does play back on my system no problem.
    Any ideas?

  • Getting old Laserjet printers to work with Windows 7

    Hi Everyone,
    For those of you, like me, that may have an old Laserjet 4, 5, or 6 I figured out how to get it to work with Windows 7!
    First, new computers do not have LPTx ports. So, when you first set up your Laserjet you MUST select a USB port - this is the main problem with getting your old laserject to work on a new computer.  MY computer dispalyed USB001 and USB002. Since I have another HP printer installed using USB001, I selected USB002. You will also need a Pararellel to USB adapter cable - you can buy one on Amazon (I paid just $11.87).
    Next, when selecting a printer driver  you MUST select HP, NOT Hewlett Packard. Scroll down until you find Laserjet 4,5, or 6. NOTE, if you don't see these models, click on the Windows update button in the dialog box. NOTE: This may take a few minutes to display the updated list. Again, select HP and scroll down the list of drivers until you find your model Laserjet (Laserjet 4, 5, or 6).
    At this point you should be good. Just finish the install process and make sure to print out a test page.
    Good luck !

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

  • How come it o hard to get adobe flash player to work on window 8.1?

    I have trouble with the Pleae install adobe flash player to view this vidio.  I get it to work for a while then it not working & i have to fiddle with it again?

    The problem ISN'T Flash Player, and it ISN'T Windows 8.1 (not completely anyway).
    It's that abomination they call a browser. Internet Exploder 11, which installs by default if you upgrade from Windows 8, and is forced down your throat if you're gullible enough to buy a new PC with 8.1 on it.
    Sites and pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. They refuse to admit their garbage is garbage.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • How can I get Acrobat 7 Pro to work with Windows 8.1 Pro?

    Apparently Acrobat Pro 7 is not compatible with Windows 8.1 Pro X64. I am trying to save a web page to pdf but this feature does not work in Windows 8.1 Pro. Is there a patch or update that will fix this problem?

    It might be possible to get a lot of it working, but you will have to install a separate PS driver and rename it Adobe PDF and set the port to File. The print process is then to print to the Adobe PDF printer and then open the created file in Distiller to complete the process. I have been successful with this on a Win7, 64-bit system, but not tried it on a Win8 system. You are pretty much on your own if problems arise, unless you are willing to try wild suggestions that we might give (guesses really).

  • How to get audio on a nc4010 working on windows seven for now it only produces formed sound.

    Have gotten the original driver from the support site and installed it manualy wich it does and the sound does work. But I wont get the normal sound. It sounds deformed it cann't play any mp3 since they sound completly rotten, however youtube does it bearely clear but it does let the deformed sound hear every now and then (also depends on the movie!!)

    Did you try modifying an XP driver to see if that works?

  • Getting JDK 1.5 to work

    I just finished downloading JDK 1.5 onto Windows XP and it has been put at C:\Program Files\Java
    I want to create a new directory at root (c:\Project\) where I can keep all my java project files separate from the "bin" directory. However I can't run the javac or JVM from this direcory, only from bin. Surely this is wrong. Can anyone help me fix this problem please.

    You need to set the bin directory in the PATH variable. Then you shouldn't have a problem in using it anywhere.
