hello, i have searched and searched everywhere and i cant seem to find an answer. I just bought a new laptop that has windows Vista (64bit) version on it. I have installed java and then when i install textpad it does not configure itself for java and i dont have the tools needed to compile and run my java programs. I am in college and i really need to get this to work fast, im already behind on my programs im supposed to be working on. lol so if anyone has any solutions please let me know.
Thank you,
Brandon

I don't have a 64bit OS with TP installed so I can't precisely troubleshoot your issue. However, you do not need TPs voodoo for creating tools to compile and run your java programs. What you do need is an installation of the java SDK. You do have the SDK and not just the runtime, correct? Difference being the SDK has the compile command (javac) and the run command (java) while the runtime just has java.
Assuming you do have the SDK installed, where was it installed? Write that location down. Within TextPad, Configure, Preferences, Tools and click Add, Program... Navigate to the location found above and select the javac.exe This tool will be the compile tool. Lather rinse repeat for the Run Java tool except chose java.exe
If you run into trouble, search around on the forums, it's a common issue with common solutions.
