Java Virtual Machine Launcher. Cannot find

[Gena]

When my Win XP. system starts up, I get a dialogue box
that reads: "Java Virtual Machine Launcher. Cannot find
main class. Program will exit." I have tried system
restore as far back at it will allow, but that did not
correct problem. I have no idea what the problem is or
what caused it. I do not know what Java Virtual Machine
Launcher is, what the main class is, or what difference
it makes to me. All the programs I regularly use work
fine after clicking "ok" on this dialogue box
..

It sounds like you have something unwanted starting with Windows. Do the
normal troubleshooting:

1) scan with current antivirus ("current" means a version not earlier
than 2002 but using updated virus definitions); 2) remove spyware with
Spybot Search & Destroy (www.safer-networking.org) and Ad-aware
(www.lavasoftusa.com). These programs are free, so use them both since
they complement each other. You may also want to run the latest
CWShredder from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/index.html. Always
read the instructions before running a spyware removal tool. Be sure to
update these programs before running, and it is a good idea to do
virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode; 3) delete temporary and Temporary
Internet Files; 4) stop unnecessary services/programs from starting
with Windows - see www.blackviper.com for services info and
www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm for programs info - 5) look in
Event Viewer for clues; 6) make sure you've visited Windows Update and
applied all security patches and are running a firewall.

Here is a Java Tester. Down around the center of the page is also a
Java Virtual Machine tester.
Java Tester - Is Java Enabled?

If these tests give no results, you can go here:

Download and install latest version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/. Yours may be too old.
