I have difficulty in starting Eclipse

I am new to Eclipse. Just downloaded the installation package and want
to start Eclipse for the first time.

I got a "Incompatible_JVM" message saying: "Version 1.3.1_01 of the JVM
is not suitable for this product. Version: 1.4.1 or greater is
required".

On my PC (using XP Professional) there was JDK1.4. I uninstalled it.
Also I ran unmsjvm.exe to uninstall MS java virtual machine, then
reboot. I got the same message.

I installed JDK1.5, then added C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib to
CLASSPATH and \bin to PATH. Got the same error when run Eclipse.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

Don't rely on env vars. Start eclipse with option
-vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\java"

if you had install oracle of other software ?
these software will change you PATH
check the PATH in your OS
and then put your jdk path info in front of all

Thank you, Frank! Your idea did work.

Thank you, Mr. Zuo! I moved this portion to the front of the Websphere
portion (which uses 1.3.1_01) and the problem disappeared.
