Hey, did you read a message posted by Pavel Vassiliev ? You go to Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Advanced tab - Environment Variables - System Variables - Choose Path Variable and click edit, then you wanna add this "; C:\Program Files\Java \jdk1.6.0_07\bin" or wherever your javac location is. And don't forget, if you got more problems, while doing your first steps with Java, here is the link: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/problems/index.html One more advice: download Java SE tutorial from here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/information/download.html and read as many times as you can. It has all you want to know as a beginner about Java. Good Luck!
