Platform problem

Question

My class and I are having some problems with the java sdk1.4.1. I have it install on a win 98 SE, two of my class mates have it installed on win XP, and it works fine on both. we now have it installed on win 2000. Can someone please tell me why this is happening?
Here is the file name, contense, and the error we are getting.
//file name: test.java
public class test {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          System.out.print("End of line");

You're path looks strange. Do you have more than one JRE on your machine, if so, you might be using an old JRE.
I use w2k and my path looks like this
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\javacc\bin;c:\mybatch;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\Program Files\Java\J2re\1.4.1_01\bin;C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin;
I'm telling its explicitely to use the 1.4.1_01 jre.
