Hi there!

I'm taking a java programming class and this is all pretty new to me. I've got everything running fine and there are no problems there but when I write a program, compile it and run it it always shows an error message at the top of the output and then runs the program successfully. The error messige it gives is: "The system cannot find the path specified." but it never explains what path it's referring to.

I asked my professor about it and he's known about this problem for several years. He suggested that I delete Java and Textpad from my computer and re-install them, which he said works in about 50% of the cases where this error occurs, so I did that but it's still there. I know it's not a very serious problem but it's a very frustrating one. Anyone here have any ideas on what might be wrong?

Thanks,
Gunni.

All right, we got it.

The programs I was running were saved in a directory with Icelandic letters, Textpad couldn't handle them and gave an error each time they were run. Changing the name of the directory to include only letters of the English alphabet worked.

I guess that the problem is not within Textpad but within the command processor of your Windows ...
