Need help with Java error message(s)

[rw96823]

Does anyone know the proper way to resolve Java error messages that appear?

Here's the scenario....
I have a DELL Optiplex GX260 Pentium 4 with 512 DDR, running Windows 2000 Pro (also have other units running XP Pro). After loading Oracle 8i, a Java error message appears as follows....

The instructions at "0x500bf974" referenced memory at "0x00000e7f". The memory could not be "read"

Click on OK to terminated the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program

On the Java website, there is a forum thread that said to change the "symjcit.dll" file name wherever this file appears. That worked to clear the error, but I'm wondering if that is the proper way to handle this situation.....

That "symjcit.dll" file is also responsible for another error in Java that did not allow entry/access to an older program designed in Java and uses the Virtual Machine. When changing the file name in the program, it allowed access and use.

What is this file and what is it responsible for.....if anyone can help me....please....thank you!

Note that this isn't really a Java error. This is an OS error caused by an errant DLL, which was most likely written in C++. It sounds like Oracle ships with a DLL that doesn't get along with whatever JVM you're running.

A quick Google turned up this page that indicates its a problem with JDK 1.2 and the Symmantec JIT (Just-in-time compiler).

Personally, I would upgrade to at least JDK 1.3 and not use the JIT.

This is a java error:

Error while running process: java.lang.Exception: Command not found: moo

thank you all!

I (or my collegues) know zilch about Java, so forgive me for the error in title of the thread.

So if I download the JDK 1.3 as mentioned, will it install automatically or do I have to make changes somewhere to get this to run with existing Oracle and Java programs already installed on my computer?

To make sure the newer JDK is being used, you should check all of the Java Plugin icons in the Control Panel to make sure they're pointing to the right place. Also, some software sets %JAVA_HOME%, so also check the Environment Variables too.
