3 more computer questions.
Q1.Friend of mine is having computer problems when a game hangs.
SIMS superstar - i assume installation was okay...i installed it
mega plenty of RAM
have downloaded latest video drive
tower is a HP Pavilion 521 a, purchased early last year
game hangs, like it doesnt have enough working memory, but i know it
does
to try and fix this i have recently reformatted the hard drive and set
it back to the original settings, downloaded all windows updates and as i
said the latest video driver.
all should work well, i dont know what is going on and it is really pissing me off cause i dont want her to use my pc anymore....lol

PATH=%PATH%; C:PROGRA~1SSHCOM~1SSHSEC~1;
SET PATH=C:WINDOWS; C:WINDOWSCOMMAND; C:j2sdk1.4.0_02bin; C:Perlbin; %PATH%;
SET JAVA_HOME=C:j2sdk1.4.0_02
SET CATALINA_HOME=C:tomcat
My autoexec file as it is at the moment. Is there a mistake in line 2?
(need to disable smileys and BBCode for anything like this to look right on screen)

Amazer,
I haven't got Win '98 running here, so I can't test this, but are you sure that it's happy with periods in path names?
You might want to try renaming
C:j2sdk1.4.0_02
to
C:j2sdk1_4_0_02
, making appropriate matching change in the autoexec.bat file and rebooting...
Good luck

Re: Question 1, which video drivers are you using - being a HP computer you prob have either integrated video - or a 'not so up-to-date'
video card, either way be careful about which drivers you use - don't use the latest nvidia drivers, as they do /can cause the sytem and games to
crash, depending on the card Geforce2 don't need anything higher than version24 for Geforce 3/4 use the latest drivers.
Plus if it's Win98, you may have installed the latest DirectX drivers, which cause big f/ups with the system ... meh, that's Win98 for you -
I am not familiar with the game.
In regards to Q2 - You idiot 
Q3. Try
set path=%path%;c:windowssystem32;c:j2sdk1.4.0bin
set classpath=%classpath%;.
- As the executable is in the bin folder ... duh, or if it still doesn't work - you will have to always set the path, just before you compile
it.
Hope it all works

Thinks again
Don't path names in a path statement (which is very much DOS rather than Windows) have to comply with the DOS 8.3 naming limits?
If so your 13 character j2sdk1.4.0_02 is just too long.

at the dos prompt type your usual plus a redirect for std out, using the > character, e.g.
java mysource.java >out.txt

found this
If you are running MS Windows 95, MS Windows 98, or MS Windows ME, the trouble that you encounter when you have more than a page full of errors is
that the error messages from javac are not sent to standard output stdout but are sent to standard error stderr instead. Unfortunately, this will not
work with MS Windows 95, MS Windows 98, or MS Windows ME because there is no support for redirecting output from standard error on those operating
systems.

Eerk.
I can't think of another way of doing this if the compiler doesn't have some command line switch.
