Openend up my .fla today and got this error “Error initialising Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall flash”.

This had popped up on me a couple times before, but I only had to close and reopen Flash to make it go away. Not today. I get this message everytime i run the fla. I re installed CS3 and I still get it.

Tried google, none of the solutions seem to work, including deleting the Classpath variable in Environment Variables.

I’m at a loss now, what do I do? ☹
