Hi to all! I set up and started properly jedit on my notebook (wXP - sp1 - Java:Runtime Env. Stand.Ed 1.4.2_01) but I waws unable to make it run with my other computer: wXP-sp1-java:1.4.2_08). It hangs at the end of the progress bar run on the splash screen. Here are the lines around the first error in the activity log: ************** [message] BeanShell: Running script C:\Program Files\jEdit\startup\startup.bsh [debug] String: BeanShell interpreter version 2.0b1.1-jedit-1 [debug] EditBus: BufferUpdate[what=LOAD_STARTED,view=null,source=Untitled-1 (C:\Program Files\jEdit\)] [debug] EditBus: BufferUpdate[what=CREATED,view=null,source=Untitled-1 (C:\Program Files\jEdit\)] [error] GUIUtilities: java.lang.NullPointerException [error] GUIUtilities: at java.util.StringTokenizer.(Unknown Source) [error] GUIUtilities: at java.util.StringTokenizer.(Unknown Source) [error] GUIUtilities: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities.parseStyle(GUIUtilities.java:790) [error] GUIUtilities: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities.loadStyles(GUIUtilities.java:888) [error] GUIUtilities: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities.loadStyles(GUIUtilities.java:864) **************** thank for help Mehmet Okonsar pianist-composer www.okonsar.com mehmet@okonsar.com
