I have just managed to clear a problem with screen resolution, which
coincidentally (or not) seemed to follow an earlier Java error. I have
another Java error which I have copied in full below.

Could anyone tell me what I need to do in very simple non-technical
terms please(a) to correct this and (b)stop further Java errors. I am
an absolute Java novice and only a little better with win 98.
