Answer 1

2 things:
1) are you really certain that c:\ is the current directory at run-time? Just because the .java file is there does not necessarily mean that is your current directory. You should use /images/picture.BMP instead, assuming this is not an applet. Actually you should rather put the picture in your CLASSPATH and load it via getClass().getResource("/picture.BMP"), where picture.BMP is rooted somewhere in the CLASSPATH.
2) If this is an applet, you must use getCodeBase() instead to base your file name from, as applets cannot read the local file system.
