Hello all, I am new to the java language and studying presently with the open university. I decided to try and use Eclipse after learning some stuff and was first confronted by a message: The eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library. To which I have only an OK button to press. I installed from an external hard drive into programs within my c drive on Windows XP. The version is correct for my machine from all I can gather, 32 bit. So any ideas on how I can launch the program? Step by step guides would be helpful at this time until I am more familiar with its operation. On my other machine, everything worked fine but I am a little lost with how to enter code. Have used Blue Jay briefly and us: alt + v to go to the variables pane, d to go to the display pane and c to go to the code pane where I enter code. Any help on how to navigate around from the start would also be of great use. Many thanks in advance. Roger
