Processing doesn't start. Generates error file

What can I do about this? Processing was working fine, but now it generates an error file which contains the following text :

that's not a processing bug, not sure what it is, but it looks like a bad java install--it's not finding some of the resources for java that control the appearance of the application.

Thanks...I checked up the java site, and the problem is listed  there
http://java.com/en/download/help/6000041400.xml

Currently trying my best to solve the problem.

Uninstalled all JRE's and installed the newest JRE version. The "Test Java Virtual Machine" test (on the java website) worked fine.
But Processing still doesn't start. Still generates that error file. Advice please...I need to start building an application in processing in a few days time.

again, the error occurs inside sun's code, and it's not something i can fix.

but you might also start by using a more recent release of processing.

Downloaded processing-0134. The program opened the first time I clicked on processing.exe. Was really happy...I closed the program and copied the downloaded zip file to my software backup folder.
Came back and clicked on processing.exe again, and it generated the familiar error file. Aargh! Sad

Update:
Processing works even without JRE. I uninstalled JRE from my PC.
Everytime I restart the PC and click on Processing.exe, it opens and I'm able to work on it. But if I close Processing and try to open it again, it generates the error file.

At least for now I know that I can restart the PC each time I want to make Processing work.
