Starting / running my program on Win98

Please help
I developed my (very simple) application, it contains main() function.
I can run it on my Win98 by typing "java MyProgram" at MS-DOS Prompt.
It runs fine.
I would like to be able to start my program just by clicking on 'MyProgram.class'
Currently when I try this I am getting quick error flash in DOS window:
'Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyProgram/class'
The same message I can get when I would type "java MyProgram.class" at dos prompt.
Could you tell me please what to do?
Thx

Once you have an executable jar, windows will already be setup to run it if java is already installed.
If you use java web start, you can have java installed dynamically as required.

Running mac os x version 10.6.8

Easiest way is to have an external drive to which you copy the things you store like pictures, movies, and music
which take up a lot of space. Then delete them fron the main drive and clean it up with one of the maintenance utilities. You can readily access the external drive's contents whenever you wish.

Hardware starts to fail running certain programs

Hi I have an older macbook pro, late 2008, and it runs fine, but the past month when I'm running certain programs (ableton live, photoshop, even word sometimes) all of a sudden my trackpad stops clicking, the mouse icon dissapears, and none of the keyboard buttons work. I can plug in stuff to the USB slots, but they don't work either ie mouse. I then proceed to manually shut the computer off by holding down the power button, but I hate doing that. what should I do? anyone have an issue with this? It has all started after I downloaded maverick, and it's really irretating and bad for my computer being that I use it so often for work.

The error message you're getting is the error message the
server is sending. You need to figure out why the server
is sending that error message.
One thing that might help debug the problem is to keep
the debug log files for every session, at least until you
know the send is successful. If a send fails, save the
debug log file for later examination. Then you can see
the entire protocol trace with the server.
See the Session.setDebugOut method.
One possibility here is that you're running into a bug in
your application that, after some time, causes it to lose
your session configuration properties, which could cause
it to fail to authenticate, or even cause it to connect to the
wrong server. Look for race conditions in your application.

My MacBook is almost two years old and has started running really slow. It gets bogged down when it is running different programs at the same time, like Safari and Pages. It didn't react this way until recently. Any advice would be very welcome.

Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive (the drive itself, not the volume icons below it.) Is the SMART status "Verified?" If not, replace the drive immediately. If the status is "Verified," the drive may still be failing. Back up all data, if you haven't already done so. Reinstall Mac OS X, then run Software Update. Test with all wired peripherals disconnected. If it's still slow, you have a hardware problem.

Executing a JAVA program from a DOS prompt vs the START = RUN dialog

Another novice programmer question...I hope you have the patience...
I have a demo JAVA program that runs fine on my Windows PC when I execute it from a DOS prompt:
K:\COMMON\ITS\STEVEB\java\WhileDemo>java WhileDemo
Count is: 1
Count is: 2
Count is: 3
Count is: 4
Count is: 5
Count is: 6
Count is: 7
Count is: 8
Count is: 9
Count is: 10Can I run this same command from the Windows START => RUN dialog? If I cut an paste the same command, 'K:\COMMON\ITS\STEVEB\java\WhileDemo>java WhileDemo', into the START => RUN dialog I get the following error:
"Windows cannot find 'K:\COMMON\ITS\STEVEB\java\WhileDemo>java WhileDemo'. Make sure you have typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button and then click Search."
Is what I'm attempting to do even possible? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Will a .JAR keep the window from closing on exit? Nope... creating java-archives (jar's) is just the next step down the "how to publish my java application" road. You will eventually (almost certainly) need to progress that far... but there's no rush.
Compiling to and running from class files will do for now.
If you want a command prompt which stays open then open it yourself... Start ~ run: cmd (on NT, XP, Fista)

Run java program from start menu

Does anyone know how to write a class so that when a user is running my program for the first time they can run an installation file that will put a shortcut to my bat file in the start menu.Know of any place i can get info on setting up an installation class or something similar.
If you could give me some info would greatly appreciate it,it's my first time doing anything this big and not really sure where to start with writing an installation file

If your program is just for windows then giving the user an exe instead of a .bat file will help.
http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/marner_java_launcher.htm
Your user will either need to have a JVM installed on their machine or you will need to provide one with the application. If you intend to provide one, the licence doesn't allow you to install it on to the target machine, but you can place the java dir in your directory structure and access the java/javaw command by a relative path (see the help on the above site for that)
Once you have a directory structure set up for your application, you can use any comercial intall program to give give you a setup.exe file or whatever. if you are providing the VM with your distribution, then the file will at least 14MB plus your class and resource files. If you read the licence agreement for distributing the VM, it tell you what files can and can't be removed from it to make the file a bit smaller. For instance, you can remove webstart because you won't be using that.
search http://www.download.com/ for installers. I think there are a few ad supported ones if you don't want to pay

I have Labview 5.0 and I can't run a program it gives me a runrime error C++ relating to the Labview exe file. Do you know where to start to fix this?

I've had this version for quite a long time and haven't had any problems with it. When I start Labview normally it seems to work fine I can look at individual Vi's and such but when I go to start a Vi program or even the tutorial it gives me a "Runtime error message C++
C:\Program File\National Instruments\LabView\LabView.exe abnmormal program termination." I'm not sure if it is a computer problem DAQ card (PCI 6023E) problem or a software glich. If you have any ideas of where to start tracking this down please let me know ASAP. It is a work stoppage situation.

Please I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/

I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/
Please help if can figure this out. I'm convinced it is a Windows XP SP3 problem from searching on google and seeing other ppl on XP SP3 with same problem (but no working solution for myself). I'll try to be complete-listing all I've done.
I had installed: Java SE Runtime Environment v6u14 for Windows Multi-language
I had checked here it was working properly: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
I'm trying to run this jar file (soht-client-0.6.2.jar):
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/telnetoverhttp/soht-java-client-0.6.2.zip?download
http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/soht/javaclient.html < this is the information for the program.
(yes the file can be executed and should open the program's window
I wanted to post screenshot of it but friend that it's working for isn't here)
_(Please find log of all cmds I did in this post here: http://pastebin.com/f792983df )_
_I have extracted +'all' the files to: C:\062\+_ (I have tried using other directories, same problem)
++I then start/open/run/cmd+
then I: cd C:\062\+
then I try various commands - all+ of these do absolutely nothing- meaning no errors, no reply, no window opens, nothing except enters that directoy again:
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
java -jar -client soht-client-0.6.2.jar
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
soht-client-0.6.2.jar
So I try this cmd: java soht-client-0.6.2.jar
Reply:

SOHT Java Client
The SOHT Java Client requires a properties file. Either start
the application in the same directory as the soht.properties
file, or specify the file name on the command line:
java -jar soht-cleint-<version>.jar c:\soht.properties
So then I do these cmds which produce the exact same error/reply just above; Unable to load..:
j_ava -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client soht.properties_
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\062\soht.properties
So then I copy soht.properties to C root and do:
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\soht.properties <same error as above
Then from other information I have read I right click on the .jar file, select open with Always open with:
_"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"_
Try again.. same problem.
Then I do cmd:
_"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\062\soht-client-0.6.2.jar"_
does nothing, retry the other commands same thing (either nothing or those same replies)
Then I read (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5384879) someone had the same problem as I and they solved it by uninstalling all Java/reboot/ then install JDK 6 Update 14 with NetBeans 6.5.1 start NetBeans and then it worked for them.
So I unistalled all Java, rebooted and gave the cmd another try (before re-installing), now a new error, of course:
C:\062>java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Then I install Java SE and NetBeans Cobundle (JDK 6u14 and NB 6.5.1) Final Release/ reboot/ open Netbeans/
go to test java page; all is good, run cmds again -and still nothing..
C:\062>java -version
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
I reassociate program with: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.007\bin\javaw.exe_
same thing.. nothing
Thank you very much for your time :D_
PS. My computer has been newly reformatted so needing another reformat I'm sure is not the solution.

Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
Thank you again...the mystery remains
PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

Perhaps this might be helpful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/
It allows executables in Firefox to be run - it is an extenstion, though, so it must be installed in Firefox before your page will work.
Another option is this solution, but it will still require a manual change in Firefox:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=803615
Or this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472435/running-exe-in-firefox-why- do-i-get-an-error
However, you will still have problems with getting it to work cross-browser. Honestly, browsers are not supposed to have access like that to the client side file system, which absolutely makes sense for the web.
That is why you may have to approach the solution from a different angle - perhaps create a server side cloud version of your application(s) which can be easily accessed and run by your family members. I believe you used C to develop the applications? Although I have no experience with this framework, Wt might be a solution to convert your projects to server side applications:

My Macbook Pro started running really slow

This week my Macbook Pro started running super slow, taking ages to open programs and giving me the color wheel alllll the time. I've never had problems like this before! I'm not running many applications or doing anything unusual but it's just running extra slow. Once or twice it has also totally gone to sleep while I was in the middle of using it, and I had to wake it back up. It has also been getting really hot and the battery life seems worse...! This is all new, I'm using my computer just as I always have but it suddenly has issues.
The only thing it has been doing for a while is sometimes the screen will go blue - this either corrects itself within a few seconds or if I close my Macbook and then reopen it, the screen is back to normal. This is very rare though and I don't know if it's related to the slowness problem.
What can I do to fix this??

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault. The "etrecheck" output is irrelevant.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Getting an error when running my program but it compiles.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem running the program. Everything compiles correctly, but then I get the error code linked below. Everything I think is correct here. Any ideas? I posted CinReader as well in case you wanted to try compiling and running it yourself.
Thanks

Ok, here's what I did using the JSE 8.1 IDE.
1) I copied your code into a .java file named "TextShuffleGame".
It generated about half a dozon errors.
There are three classes in the program:
TextShuffleLevel
TextShuffleGame
CinReader
Each of these classes is declared "public" and I got the same error message on each one:
"class ... is public, should be declared in a file name ... .java"
so, I...
2) tried changing them to "private".
It then said: "modifier private not allowed here".
so, I...
3) deleted the modifiers for these three classes and left them as just class. No errors.
The next two errors had to do with the two import statements:
"import java.io.*;" and "import java.util.*;".
It said: "'class' or 'identifier' expected" for both. So, I...
4) moved them to the top of the source file.
Didn't help at first. So, I...
5) fiddle around with them a bit.
I tried "java.io;" and "java.util;" and then "java.*;" by itself. Still got errors. So, I put them back as you had them and for some mysterious reason, my editor decided they were fine. oO
This also corrected the last errors in the "CinReader" class. Here is the error-free code I now have in my "TextShuffleGame.java" file:

Hope that helps.

ITunes does not start run on Windows Vista at all

I've been using iTunes on Windows Vista for about six months. A couple of weeks ago it stopped running: I run the program, see the animation-formerly-known-as-hourglass for a couple of seconds and then - nothing. I can see iTunes in the process list, but nothing happens nor can I shut it down (it does nothing when I try to shut it down).
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that does not help. The program did run on another user account, so this is probably related to my profile. I tried moving the two iTunes profile folders I saw listed somewhere (can't find them now), but that did not help.
Yesterday, I got a pop-up saying there's a version 7.5 available. I installed that, and much to my surprise it ran normally - once. After that one time it again refused to do anything more than what I wrote at the start.
So what gives? Should I throw my iPods into the nearest lake?
Any hints on how to solve this frustrating issue will be greatly appreciated.

I've tried everything I can now. I've uninstalled everything that has anything to do with iTunes, then reinstalled (as per the relevant article). I've even tried installing an older version, but no. Whenever I try to run iTunes, it shows up in the processes - and can't be terminated except by shutting the computer down - but does not open.
It still seems my only option is to throw my two iPods into the lake. This is infuriating.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.
