wait quick question.. can i just copy and paste the thing you said to type into the cmd or do i type it? i know its a stupid question.. sorry

YES IM NOT THAT STUPID

that is the one i downloaded

ok well when i click the java se binary this java installer comes up so i click install and it installs and that long thing that i posted previously about WIndows installer for some reason

i use the .jar from the home page like the download on the side.. but when i download JRE the installer goes into my downloads right? ok but when i try to find the actual JRE the one i downloaded when i click on the installer i cant find it but when i find the JRE its a folder and the 2 things that are in it are bin and lib but those are files and obviously you cant run a file so i dont know what to do? im sure im just doing something wrong im not super good with java and stuff..

Ok so nightkev.. i think your right but where do i go to use the actual java and not the installer?

sadly.. we were talking about the same .jar... so now when i open the .jar now a java installer comes up and i just click install and then it goes away and nothing happens..

*previous not mysterious sry

1. Download JRE 2. Download .jar from home screen 3. Go to the .jar file and click "open with" 4. Choose default program 5. Choose JRE 6. Run it 7. Little screen pops up "do you want to allow this program to make changes on your computer 8. Choose yes 9. An administrator pop up comes up and mysterious post describes what it says

I've Tried running the .jar I've redownloaded it and all that stuff many times.. I've disabled my firewall I've disabled my virus protector I've reinstalled java multiple times I've read the stickies for any solutions.. Come up short every time.. I don't remember any others right now but I'm sure they'll come to me in time.. Thank you for all your help that you've given so far its very appreciated.

I've tried already.. :(

ok well i disabled my firewall and tried again and that didn't work sooo..

so when i first press "details" on the failed .jar run its a bunch of random symbols and theres about a million of em so i didnt want to copy and paste that... but when i click"exception this is what it says...
