ed\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0\bin;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;

classpath
.;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\lib;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;

I have written simple hello java program .It compiles but does not run
i tried even with java -classpath .javafilename

i get the following error
Error occurred during initialization of VM

thanks for the help in advance.

put between quotes ("") classpath entries that have spaces, or use the DOS name of the dirs (you can see the DOS name of a file with DIR /X)

Try put "c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0\bin" in the front in the PATH.

What is the result of "java -version" in a command prompt?
