What to do to repair the app?


I have installed the latest version of JAVA 6 update 25 but still all the same.


Other JAVA programs like Microemulator don't run too.

It is not a Marvin specific issue. It is a general Java issue.


On the Internet, there are several hints about it.


Although we have not reproduce this issue yet.


Can you give more information about your software environment to be able to check it?


- operating system


- java architecture (64 or 32bit)

I am running Windows XP sp3, 32 bit, Java SE 6 update 25.


As I told, it happened suddenly without any evident reason. Just all Java programs stopped to work and upon start give only long lists of errors.

Dear developers,


I  found the problem. The reason for this weird situation was created by the program Kleptomania, which changes СlearType settings in the registry. Here is described the solution:
