And you did download the 32bit java right?

This might help (no guarantee!)

If you read that post, michaelM says if you are having problems with Tracker, to try the new dll. Give it a shot.

Thanks for the leads here; I am now building a better understanding of how Java works. I obviously did not install 32-bit java, as my command prompt indicates still 64-bit installed, and not 32-bit. Will try that later. I assume you can run both 32 and 64 on the same system? Is some sort of pathway needed for each separately?

Hope it works, I am optimistic, I now have 'combat reporter' up and running now, so slowly getting there

Thanks again for all the help

You can have both installed on the same system and differentiate between them by the path. I only have 32 bit installed because tracker is the only thing I use that needs java.

Hey Chris, thanks for the help. I was working all last week, so just getting back at this now. You previously mentioned having a path for the 32-bit x86 version of Java. What does that mean exactly ( I am not the most PC tech savvy )

I think I have both 64 and 32 Bit downloaded. This is what my Java is showing me

The thing I am uncertain of, if I have the 32-bit installed, is how this pathway gets created

Thanks mate for all the help

Just the x86 is the 32bit java. To make it easier, I would delete the 64bit version, thus you only have the one (correct one) to run Tracker with.
