I have just bought a Pentium 4 computer with 1.4 gig. But, I cannot run
Java or VisualAge on it. I have Windows 98 installed and also Windows 2000 (dual boot). I have mainly tried the installs on Windows 98.
With Java, I have loaded up version 3.1 from a disk. The load worked, but when I try to compile a java class, I get an error message "error: cannot read: Test.java".
When I tried to load VisualAge version 3 or version 3.02, I get an error "JRE caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000.00000009" and points to a number of registers.
The shop I bought the computer from says the problem is that the computer is too fast for this software and suggested I try to find patches to download on the internet. I tried downloading 2 more recent versions of Java - j2sdk-1_3_1_01-win and j2sdk-1_3_1_01a-win. The download worked but the installation failed - "corrupt cabinate file".
I also tried downloading VisualAge4 from the IBM site. Again, download worked but install failed - "contends of this file cannot be unpacked. Executable has been corrupted ....".
HELP!!! Can you suggest anywhere I can download patches to my software to help me get Java and VisualAge running. Or, do you think it is a fault with the computer? It seems crazy that I can't do anything I want to with my new computer!!
