Bug 641364, submitted anonymously: i upgraded from .0.17.0 to .0.17.2 and everything broke and i cant revert to the earlier version. The app. window comes up and the app. freezes on the first event in the GUI. Any version that i try to load throws an exception when it trys to load class= sun.awt.windows.wcomponentpeer$2 the error msg = sys32.ddraw.dll failing initialization m$ knowledge base link is below: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;297719& what happend? ive been using this product for months now and its been fine? I start the app with this cmdline in Windows: \java -jar c:\j-0.17.0\j.jar What version of java are you using? (I.e., what is the output of "java -version"?) Exactly what happens when you try to revert to 0.17.0? J itself doesn't write anything to the Windows registry, so reverting to 0.17.0 should be trivial. Are you running two instances of j (or two instances of java) under multiple user accounts? (This is the issue discussed in the Knowledge Base article you referenced.) Have you tried rebooting? This seems like a Windows issue (or possibly a Java issue), rather than a j issue, but I'll leave the bug open for a few days, just in case. -Peter |
