The most likely explanation, I think, is that your Java program breaks in some catastrophic way or loops indefinitely. If it is feasible, I would try compiling your Java code with a main method and try to test it as a free-standing Java program. I would also re-install the DLL files from the Mathematica installation disk, just in case your recompilation introduced any further issues. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
