I have my code compile but somewhere I made a mistake. When I run my app the only thing that shows is the "Launch another frame" window. Can someone help me figure out why?

You never show the first frame, only the second.

Thanks Rob.

I still have something wrong hopefully you or someone can assist. I don't get the "about" button to show in my frame. I want that button to show and when I click it open frame2.

you add the button here
frame.getContentPane().add(about);

then add it again to frame2
frame2.getContentPane().add(about);

a component can have only one parent, so it is removed from the first frame
