My guess would be that the image is in a different folder from the one your java class is in.

My guess would be that the jpg (are you sure the file extension is right, might it be .jpeg, ikd ...) file lives in a directory that is outside of the scope of your java project. Try moving it to the same folder as your java class and don't specify the path to it, just do like :

ImageIcon bg = new ImageIcon("background3.jpg");
