Having Problems

[Donn Shumway]

In that case, it sounds like David's suggestion to load the Java 1.1.8
version is the answer. The Oracle installer uses Java 1.1.8 and has some
specific problems with later versions. After you install it, make sure you
create a java symlink to the 1.1.8 directory.

Good luck.
Donn
