Well Java 6 Update 3 is quite old now. It could be a good idea to install a more recent version like Java 6 update 24.

been to
http://www.java.com/fr/download/chrome. ... w.java.com

installed java 6 update 24 (have the impression I've done that before).

Control panel -> Programs:

There are now two "javas 6":

the old update 3 (from "Sun")
te new update 24 (from "Oracle")

Whoops. But... same error.

Uninstalled update 3. Launched SH3D, same error. Uninstalled update 24, same error, reinstalled Java 6 update 24 "alone"... same error.

One funny thing is, other java programs work - at all times (java 6 installed or not!)

Anyway, the point where all went wrong was when I tried SH3D online, and the browser installed add-ons and failed doing so... then the installed SH3D stopped working at that point.

I'll be using SH3D on a 13' MacBook laptop, but the small screen defeats most of its purpose.
