Java problem

Post by satyre »

I am getting the error as "ClassNotFoundException" wherever there is to use Java.

I am using the latest version of Java.

Java Plug-in 10.7.2.10
Using JRE version 1.7.0_07-b10 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

I uninstalled it fully after removing all the left over fragments. And reinstalled it but the same error.

It happens for both IE and Firefox. The OS is Vista sp2.

Any suggestion?

It doesn't say how to fix it. They are talking in the programming level reasoning.

If uninstall and reinstall a program, it should work for the end user.

When we visit a site that uses Java, it should run.

Have you uninstalled all existing versions of Java on this computer? No old versions left over?
Try uninstalling using an uninstall removal tool like Revo uninstaller or JavaRa...to get any leftover remnants out.
Then go through programs 'n common files..and users profile..and manually delete any remaining Sun/Java directories.
Download/install latest version.

ClassNotFoundException is a general error message and is usually followed by "in xyz applet" or "a path to a file". If the error you get does not state which applet or file, run the java console and post the complete error message details.
No one has any right to force data on you
and command you to believe it or else.
If it is not true for you, it isn't true.

YoS,

Before your post, I have done the uninstall through the control panel and manually deleted all its folders such as Main directory, under Username and common file. Then I went into Regedit and deleted some of the Java entries that I think belongs to it. I see some more entries in the Regedit with Java names but I think that is coming from other programs as handlers, so I didn't touch it.

After reading your post, I downloaded the JavaRa and run it. It caught few more files and removed it. Then I rebooted the PC and reinstalled the latest Java version. The same error as shown below.

Tony,

Yes, it gives the name of the file as shown below as an example. I am dealing with it few days now.
