Program error pointing to Java error

Asked By Marcus Gilden 10 points N/A Posted on - 10/03/2011

Help me Experts!

I was using an office in-house built program and had trouble using it one time when I encountered this error upon starting said program.  The error message seemed to display a Java error but this is so technical for me since I am just a user.  I was just wondering that it was working fine yesterday but now I cannot use it.  I know I have Java installed on my PC. 

Please give advice.

Error Message:

Startup Error

An error has occurred during startup

java.lang.NullPointerException

Program error pointing to Java error

Hello Marcus,

Well its a coding error. The code itself says that the object you are trying to look is null and not available. It usually occurs when a third party software or the firewall prevents and stops Java access. In that case first of all is there any personal firewall that you are using as it may cause problems many a times by preventing java accessing your website.

It can also be due to a temporary problem on the server which hosts your website. Also possible chances that the application that you are trying to run though java got corrupted or any of its components. If that's the matter then better re download the application and install it correctly and cleanly.

Am sure this will help. Good Luck,

Thanks!
