I'm taking a course on GUI and we are learning MFC.

I dunno why but I can't seem to understand it as clearly as compared to normal C++ programming or my DirectX programming. Maybe it is because I am not familiar with the framework of it. Like I don't know where I should code in and such. What's ...

I just checked it is using jre1.5.0_06. There are no alternative JRE installed.

This is for school work so I would like to try to get this warning fixed.

All I am using is the LinkedList to add and remove nodes. The rest is just GUI stuff like buttons, textfields and scrollbar and such.
