Exception access violation

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know what this computer error means?

I keep getting this for some time.

"An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:"

It Java and means that the code has a bug as something the code hasn't catered for as happened hence the exception has been thrown.

Any way to correct it? It happens about once or more times a week. I am no computer expert, the only in depth programming knowledge I have is Basic Apple II, long ago.

What application is the event occuring for? What version of Java are you running. Type java -version from a command line to find out.

This could be something like a file being locked etc.

I don't know what triggers the error.

The readme states:

README
Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition
Runtime Environment
Version 5.0

Sounds like an error in the JVM. Install latest JRE and try it. I have seen JVMs fail like this due to hardware problems (memory). Anyway, first stop is get the latest JRE and see if the problem goes away.

Yes I would agree make sure you are on the latest JRE.
