Dear Pshemak, Thanks so much -- your suggestion enabled Java 7 update 65 to work with Jmol on my Windows 7 system.
1. I used Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall to uninstall the non-working Java 7 update 65. 2. Using the free Windows search program Agent Ransack (truly excellent, blows away Windows Explorer for finding system files), I located these: C:\Users\Eric Martz\AppData\Roaming\Oracle C:\ProgramData\Oracle C:\Users\Eric Martz\AppData\LocalLow\Sun C:\ProgramData\Sun I deleted all 4 of those directories and all their contents. 3. I went to java.com and downloaded the installer for Java 7 update 65, and installed it. Now Jmol_S works again. OTHER OBSERVATIONS After uninstalling Java 7 update 65, and installing Java 7, update 60, Jmol_S worked. I wondered if then upgrading to 65 would run Jmol_S. It did NOT. I have explained two ways to get Jmol to work again here: http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_and_enabling_Java#Windows -Eric At 7/25/14, you wrote: >I had similar problems (I reported them some time ago).
