I am trying to use Batclient, but to no avail. I get an error concerning the version, something about Batclient wants 1.5. I have the NEWEST version of Java, I don't get it. I completely uninstalled java, and batclient, rebooted and reinstalled them both, same thing. Please help ;_;

""Error: The application has requested a version of the JRE (version 1.5+) that currently is not locally installed. Java Web Start is unable to automatically download and install the requested version. This JRE must be installed manually."

This might not help, but do you have an old version of java hidden away in some directory that it's finding? I know at least on my PCs 1.4 or earlier didn't automatically uninstall when a newer version was added.

Also, try going to 1.5 and see if it works, then if it does then try and upgrade to 1.6.

So far as I know, only one version, Java 6 update 7, if there's other instances I wouldn't know where to look. I will try uninstalling 6/7 and installing 1.5 alone to see if it works, although I think I tried that earlier. I'll let ya know what happens, thanks for the help ----it's working now, putting in plain old 1.5 did the trick, the balls still rolling on what happens when i update to newest, but hell with it! =D And btw, thanks a bunch!

no probs, I'm glad it worked.

I just thought of another thing (which might have got updated when you went to 1.5) which is your enviroment variables, these are located in System Properties (right click on my computer) under the advanced tab. Some of these variables are to do with java, and may be created by programs other than Java - these programs might have a java1.4 folder embeded in the main program folders (an older version of quicktime did for me).

But, as your system is working now I wouldn't go messing around with them, as it may cause things to break. :)
