Sorry - I meant install the program on my PC and paste my friend's Fluid folder over mine. That way the registry (on my PC) would have the entries it needed but the folder structure would be tried and tested.

Me too. Is there any point in waiting to see if the next patch has any effect?
Thanks

Have you fully removed all copies of Java and Dundjinni, virus and spyware scanned and patched, reinstalled Windows, then fresh-installed the latest Java followed by a reboot then a Dundjinni install?
I say that you just take off and nuke your computer from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.  I'm not sure that the new patch is going to do anything to help.

Thanks Janni
Well, I'm going to stop short of a reinstallation of Windows. Whilst I'm keen to get DJ running I'm not going to wipe an otherwise perfectly happy PC just to get it going 
I'll run through the list of instructions one more time...

You don't need to wipe Windows in order to reinstall it. Re-running the installer makes sure that any library (.dll) files and other necessities get overwritten with "proper" and "clean" versions from the installer CD, and that certain required entries in the Registry are correct. Of course, you will/should have to download and install any Microsoft Critical Updates that yo've applied (including the dreaded Service Packs).

I also am getting the improper installation issue. For one thing, when I am installing it from the CD I got (GenCon). It does not finish the last install. I tried to let the last install run for almost two hours and it did not finish. It dosn't freeze up until you click cancel or somthing. It's happens on somthing like the d20cdr file or somthing.. How do you fix it?

It would help if you let us know what your system specs are. Operating system, whether or not you're up to date on system patches, etc.

Like we say to everyone: Make sure that you have one and only one version of Java installed. Even if you seem to only have one version installed, you may want to remove it, reboot your PC, and then install the latest version.

Still having problems with the latest version 1.05
I have one version of java installed, reinstalled latest after completly wiping it from my system.
Reinstalled Dundjinni after completely wiping it from my system.
Did not install any art packs (including the ones I so foolishly purchased in advance).
I stopped all running programs.
I *still* get this error.
----
An error occured during startup.
You may have an improper installation, or invalid or missing map resources.
The program will be terminated.

OK
I uninstalled Dundjinni.
I made sure Java J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 is the only one I have installed.
I re-installed Dundjinni
It said it was successfully installed and still I get the Improper instalation error.
Any other suggestions?
Regards:
Gregg
