Yes, I am using international version of XP (however, is there non-international version of xp?) But my user account contains no non-ascii character.

I tried using the run.bat file on the command line, still, again, nothing happen.

(Besides, when I double click the run.bat file, a window pop up but closed immediately. When I double click processing.exe, something seems to be running but nothing happen afterward.)

I don't know whether it is a bug or my computer's problem Sad

I did, no error message was shown.

fry YaBB Moderator Offline Posts: 2623 mass, usa	Re: cannot starting processing Reply #7 - May 6^th, 2005, 6:51am ah.. yes, that does help. now i see what's going on. 87 uses a different version of java, and i think sun removed support for non-european languages by default. i've found the proper version and i'll fix it for 88. in the meantime, replace the "java" folder with one from revision 85, and things should work fine.

neuston YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 8	Re: cannot starting processing Reply #8 - May 6^th, 2005, 2:08pm HoHo! It works now! Thank you! fry (P.S. actually, I encounter another problem about quicktime: error message: Data/Processing/build/Temporary_36_842.java:19:11:19:14: Semantic Error: Type "quicktime.std.movies.Movie" was not found. My quicktime for java might be not well installed, I am now trying to figure it out.)

After reading faq, the quicktime problem is also solved. Thank you.
