...and brotha, I hurt people... Group: Members Posts: 519 Member No.: 3337 Joined: 21-February 07 Status: (0d)	.JAR files used to run on my computer, then I got windows 7. At first my computer didn't know what to run my .JAR files as, so I went through my system directory and found java.exe. The files description was "Java™ Platform SE Binary". I'm pretty sure I am supposed to be running them with a java program with a description of "Java™ Platform Standard Edition" But I cant find it. Any suggestions? -------------------- ************************************************************

He explained that he has no Java.exe.

Which means you need to uninstall it and try again, because you should have that.
