What is your operating system? (windows 7? windows xp? mac os x 10.8? linux something?)
What version of Java are you using?
Have you uninstalled all previous versions of TripleA?
You said you downloaded 1.6.1.2 triplea, but what version? (the install with java version, or the portable zip? etc)
The error you are getting is in a big white java box? If so, please copy and paste the ENTIRE error message here.
Also explain to me what you are doing to get to this error message.
in other words, here is what i understand:
you installed triplea
you run triplea
you immediately get an error message without doing anything else
if this is not true, please explain what else you have to do to get the message. For example, maybe you are clicking on “choose games”, then you get the error message. Or you only get the error message when you try to download new maps using the download maps button, and only after you click “list games”. Or maybe you get the error with certain maps, etc.
please explain in detail.
