The first things that comes to mind is what version of Java do you have installed? Make sure you install the latest Java 1.8.0_111 for both JRE and JDK.
Also for us to be able to help you further you should give more information about your system. what OS are you running? also check variables setting.
Alternative You may want to type Java in control panel (Windows 10) then click on Java, Update/Update now.

I dont run windows 10. Once Windows 7 loses support, I am off to linux and will VM windows when necessary. And yes, I have the latest java.

I uninstalled a product from MSI called Nahimic because apparently its buggy as shit.

Unfortunatelly I am not familiar with Linux, so I guess Erel can assist you further. I think those Linux gurus in this forum would like to see some log or something, so prepare some details and post here and I am sure someone will help you. However some errors might not be related to Java or B4J, it might be your configuration
and those are usually fixes by a reinstall. Just as a reminder B4J 4.70 is currently available.

I dont think you read my sentence correctly. I am not on linux right now. lol.

Yes I know b4J 4.7 is available, I am not a noob at this. But this is the first time i AM using B4J.

Sorry if I misunderstood, but the quote seemed like you are not on Windows. As I said, share details about your system so people can help you. Good luck

It seems to be linked to your MSI motherboard, Video card, or Audio drivers:

On this page : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233556 They aparently recommend updating your MSI Audio drivers:

or direct link I found
http://download.msi.com/nb_drivers/ad/Audio driver_6.0.1.7818 and Nahimic_2.2.7.zip

If that doesn't solve the problem, they say that closing the Nahimic Application fixes the problem:

There is no easy workaround atm, the only thing to do is to right click on the Nahimic Icon in systray and choose "Exit" to close Nahimic completely.

I ended up uninstalling Nahimic. Turns out this App crashing allowed me to figure out ALOT of things. I have been fighting a problem for a long time, and that was the computer would randomly drop its Aero acceleration. so all the windows would drag slow, low FPS. and the windows performance issue dialogbox would pop up saying your computers performance is slow, change the color scheme or ignore. A reboot would fix it. For awhile, then it would randomly do it again. Windows would act like the video drivers are software drivers or something, and lose all acceleration for the GUI even though Aero would stay enabled.

Some games would freak out and crash too. Once B4J crashed and told me which DLL faulted it, allowed me to figure it all out. I got rid of Nahimic and now everything is fixed including my games. Go figure.

So actually, B4J Crashing was a blessing in disguise. Thanks erel!

Once B4J crashing helped me figure out that I had a malware on my computer: JEEFO
The malware would infect the B4j.exe file and make it not executable anymore. Turns out that b4j is a good performance debugging tool for windows

Luckily I havent had malware issues since the KaZaa days. Knock on wood.
