I'm goign frickin' insane. This has always worked before...

NONE of ym class files will run.
So I tried the first I ever made, that I KNOW works.

I still get this error.






I have never once gotten this before, I've ran like 50 class files successfully by typing "java name.class"

Yes, the class file IS in the directory C:\Compiler.

Whaaat keeppss happeneinggg..

 

To run the class you should use "java className" and not "java className.class" as you have done in the picture above.

 

I have always had .class on the end.

Thanks, 1 sec I'll try it without.
Edit: I must have some screwed up memory cuz it worked lmfao.
Thanks

 

I suggest you take a look at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/

 

the JVM loads all class files in the classpath and defines them BY CLASS NAME and not by filename. if the main class is hello, and its in hello.class, you simply add it to the classpath if needed and do:
java [additional args] hello

 

Also, class names should start with a capital letter.
