Hallo

I'm not sure that this is the answer, but be sure to validate that you are compiling to the right version and that your a running with that version of the JRE otherwise your will the get an error as the one you describe.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Per

I don't see a reason to set the CLASSPATH, JAVA is absolutely happy to run just on PATH setup.
Your CLASSPATH seting are strange .;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin;.;C:\World What is purpose of that extra semicolon and dot which I marked with red?
And why did you set this CLASSPATH when after restart you change it to C:\>set CLASSPATH=.;C:\;

Make shure to put semicolon on the end of string in PATH %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin; I had bad experience with this missing semicolon while working with MySQL

most likely an old java.exe, javaw.exe, and possibly javaws.exe got left behind somewhere in the windows installation directory or a subdirectory.
Find and remove those.
Also remove the new JDK and reinstall to a directory with no spaces in it, as it doesn't particularly like that.
