a. try deleting the folder and re-unzipping (installing) it... maybe something went wrong the first time.
b. if that doesn't work, try downloading again.

...have you got any other Java-stuff installed?

does your login name on windows have non-ascii characters in it?
if so (and even if not, it may help) try putting processing in the root of your c:\ drive and running it from there.

For future reference, I had a simliar problem. When I attempted to run the processing executable, it would pause for a few seconds and the cursor would turn into an hour glass, but then seconds later it would stop and nothing would happen.
It would appear I had another version of javaw.exe running in the background from an earlier JRE install. After killing any javaw.exe processes, the processing.exe loaded up and everything was fine.

This happens to me too, but in a slightly different way. Double-clicking on the p5 app triggers some hard drive spinning, the hour-glass cursor, but nothing happens. It doesn't look like anything p5 related is running in the task manager.
In my initial frustration, I started double clicking on everything in the folder that was executable and discovered that run.bat starts the application quite reliably. This isn't a big deal, just a little weird. Once the application starts up via run.bat, everything is fine.
I'm on a Dell C640 laptop running WinXP and processing 0068.

Hey,
I just started receiving the same symptoms described above after installing Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a Win XP Pro. Before installation p5 was running just fine.
It seems processing.exe starts javaw.exe but not the development environment. I am able to start it with the run.bat file though.

weird.. it's a good thing i haven't removed the run.bat file.. i had thought it was mostly useless by now.
the other thing to try is placing processing in the root of your C:\ drive, since it seems to have problems when there are spaces in its folder name (i.e. the space in "Program Files")

I'm new to this language, so new that I've yet to have it running! I'm running XP hyper-threaded environment. I've installed quicktime 6.3 with everything (Standard version), and have java installed:
c:\>java.exe -version
java version "1.3.1.9"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.9)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-rc2-b22, mixed mode)
I,ve noticed an error log file in the lib\stderror.txt
it contains
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
at PdeEditor.<init>(PdeEditor.java:210)
at PdeBase.<init>(PdeBase.java:342)
at PdeBase.main(PdeBase.java:170)
The javaw.exe file is loaded but hangs in memory doing nothing, any help would be appreciated...
Steve.

you'll need to install java 1.4 (instead of 1.3) to get it running. turns out we use some 1.4-only stuff inside the environment, so that's causing the breakage.
