    Hi, Im new to using was-ce and I have encountered a problem that I couldnt figure out for many weeks now.

    The whenever i try to run the server via firststeps (whether version 2.1.1.5, 3.0.0.0, or 3.0.0.4), it doesn't start. It doesn't display any error message on the console that pops up. It does, however, generate the ff message in its logs:

    .... 


    So I changed my JDK to 1.6_37... but now, when I click 'start server', it displays "SERVER STATUS: STOPPED" on console, and no new logs/exception is generated. 

    I also tried clicking startserver.bat, but not much happens: the cmd appears...then disappears immediately. no exception/log.

    I am using Windows 7 64-bit, Websphere 3.0.0.0.
