    Does the program have a package statement?
    If so you must consider it when using the java command.
    For simple program testing, comment out the package statement and try again.

    And make sure you don't have wretched CLASSPATH variable hanging about.

    javac -cp . Program1.java
    java -cp . Program1

    The dash-cp-space-dot ensures that the current directory will be the classpath that the Java executable tools use.

    Make sure that you have this line : public static void main(String args[]) after the class program1.
    Also make sure that your file name should be program1.java

    Where is the class Program1?
    The code you posted has a class named: Prg1

    You should use that name when executing the java command: java Prg1

    I created a new folder Tanmay Java Programs & written a code shifted into another folder name Core Java Codes (D:\Tanmay Java Programs\Core Java codes).
    I used that name when excuting the java program as :

    Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
    (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

    C:\Documents and Settings\Tanmay Sinha>d:

    D:\>cd D:\Tanmay Java Programs\Core Java codes

    D:\Tanmay Java Programs\Core Java codes>javac Prg1.java

    D:\Tanmay Java Programs\Core Java codes>java Prg1
    Error: Could not find or load main class Prg1

    This is the Error.I have shown it in detail.Plz help me coz I have to do the project on java....
    When I installed the java Program[(jdk-7u3-windows-i586) java SE Development Kit 7 windows X86)
    on my machine(Window XP Service Pack2) then after installation I looked Java folder in C-Drive
    (C:\Program Files\Java),In c Drive there are 2 folders available One is jdk1.7.0_03 and other is
    jre7.I used jdk1.7.0_03 & open its bin folder & then copy the Address of the bin as
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin.Again I used right click on My Computer,Open properties,
    select Advance,Select Environment Variable then I looked the two options user variables for Tanmay Sinha and other is System variables,In System variables I choose Path & double click on Edit option ,After that
    showing other window Edit System Variable.In Edit System Variable typed Path at Variable name and
    at Variable value I paste the jdk bin folder
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin
    then use ok.....
    After that I did program on command prompt & after successfull compilation I get error
    Error: Could not find or load main class Prg1.

    When I installed (jdk-7u3-windows-i586) java SE Development Kit 7 windows X86) on my machine then I also looked the other folder in c-drive(C:\Program Files\Oracle).In this folder there are 2 folders one is JavaFX 2.0 Runtime and other is JavaFX 2.0 SDK.
    Now hopefully u'll get the all information about java & solve my Problem easily.

    The OS is finding the javac and the java commands. Otherwise there'd be error messages.
    The javac command did not give an error. What .class files are there in the Core Java codes folder?
    Do a dir command in that folder to list its contents.

    Can you post what is shown in a command prompt for the dir command and the java command.

    I can't find a way to generate the error message you show when using the java command:
    Error: Could not find or load main class Prg1

    If you don't run the commands I asked for and post the contents of the command prompt window when you are done, I can't help you. I'm here and you are there with your PC. The only way I can see anything from your PC is if you copy and paste it on the forum.
    I want to see all of it in one posting.

    You are repeating yourself. I asked that you do a dir command and a java -version command when you do the other commands.

    Can you do those extra commands and post the output here?
    If you don't have a PC that you can use, don't waste my time by copying old posts. I would like the output from a new test. Otherwise come back later when you can do that.
