This is driving me insane.
Previously J2SE 1.4.2/NB 3.51 worked on my week-old Dell Inspiron Windows
XP laptop. I figure it's something I downloaded from Windows Update that
caused NB to stop loading when I double-clicked it (thanks for exceeding
my expectations, Microsoft, XP is more of a piece of crap than I originally
figured).
So since I didn't have a copy of the J2SE SDK handy, I downloaded the
1.4.2/NB 3.5.1 bundle.
It loads, searches for a minute for a Java VM, and then hangs. Task Manager
shows the installer is running, and a Java.exe binary is also running.
Well, I also had Dell's Britannica reference software installed (preinstalled,
actually) and it installs a copy of the 1.4.2 runtime, so I uninstalled
Britannica. I had also downloaded and installed ZeroG's InstallAnywhere
which *also* puts a copy of the 1.4.2 runtime on your computer, so I
uninstalled it too. And I made doubly sure that there were no more Java.exe
binaries on my system, uninstalling the copy of the SDK that I installed,
and deleting Java.exe out of \windows\system32 directory.
I just searched through the registry and the only reference to Java.exe is
a stored reference from a search I did in Windows Explorer.
Help! What do I need to do to get this beast back up and running on my
computer? :(
Thanks a gazillion for whatever help you can offer.
