I think it's an old version of Java....Java's up to version 7-something now, isn't it.
Download Free Java Software
I figured it might be and older version. Do you think this means I need to download the older one? Seems strange a newer version would be unable to open and run this program. I currently have version 7, update 17. I couldn't open the program on an updated desktop computer either.
Whenever I try to click on the icon to open this program, I get a very brief windows command prompt window that spits out some text and then disappears quickly. I did a screen shot to be able to see just what text was coming up during this process. Here's some of it:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: [it then lists my folder locations...]
EstClaws.dll can't load IA 32-bit .ddl on a AMD 64-bit platform.
I'm beginning to think this program hasn't been updated anytime recently, and so a 64-bit platform (which I presume is most computers today) won't run this 32-bit program. If this is the case, I feel a bit like a sucker.
I've tried approaching the seller, but feedback is pretty limited. I'm not given suggestions for resolving the Java issue, but told to try opening the program through the Windows command prompt, and using the program through the command prompt instead of through the GUI interface. I have absolutely no experience working with a command prompt. My Commodore 64 days are long behind me! I cannot get past just opening the folder where the program can be found.
Feel a bit frustrated also that I even have to try using the command prompt, as the java GUI interface should be working!
PS: I really appreciate your quick replies and the time you're taking to help me out!
