Java so accept that. Lot of action from hard disk then nothing. It is

Hi Bryan,
for some reason, the file association between a ".jar" file and java
wasn't done in your system.
I don't have a windows system here right now, but the jar file must be
started with the "-jar" parameter, eg. jave -jar <<path to filename>.
DO you know how to open a command prompt under WIndows?
If you, do so, and the cd into the directory where you have unzipped
SMSQmulator.
From there type "java -jar SMSQmulator.jar".
Report back any errors....
Wolfgang

Thanks Tim & Wolfgang for the helpful advice.
I did start by clearing out Java and installing ver 7 afresh.
When I use the command prompt as described, there is a pause and then a
load of error messages scroll up the screen. And Tim, I've tried Genj;
the set-up was supposed to set a desktop short cut, but didn't, and
nothing happens when I double click on Genj.jar.
I did manage to freeze thisfirst error line, but strayed into the cmd
screen and it scrolled on.
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"java.lang. NoClass..........
I think that I had better get someone more knowledgeable than myself
actually on the computer, when they might quickly spot the problem. As
an engineer I know the difficulty of diagnosing faults at a distance.
