java.exe (j2re1.4.0) can't init C:\WINNT\system32\DDRAW.dll
843798Mar 18 2002 — edited Jan 30 2006Our app is running on jre 1.3.1_01. When we try j2re 1.4.0 we get the following dialog:
java.exe - DLL Initialization Failed
Initialization of the dynamic link library C:\WINNT\System32\ddraw.dll failed. The process is terminating abnormally.
It occurs when the application attempts to paint the splash screen for our server application. It also occurs with our client GUI.
This is the same for 6 different machines running Windows NT 4.0 service packs 5 and 6.
I don't want to make this a bug yet because it seems to work on my laptop with exactly the same software. We have sync'd the environment and verified the classpaths.
