Hi agian, I just got my machine up a running again so I can host agian however when I double-click on the status.jar file Windows XP opens it as if it was a zip file. Am I missing something here? I dloaded and installed the Java thing but the same thing is going on.

Seems that .jar files are associated with your zip program. This shouldn’t be the case after installing Java.
Which Java version did you install?
Did you restart your computer after installing Java?

An alternative way of starting OSI is the following command:

java -jar status.jar

On Windows platforms it is also possible to start it with:

javaw -jar status.jar

I installed Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.1_01
I rebooted
No Luck

Tried both command line methods and nothing worked. First command did nothing, the second one said “Exception in thread ‘Main’ java.util.zip.ZipException: Access is denied”

Any Ideas?

Access is denied seems to be the problem.
Is the directory write-protected?
Are any files created by OSI?
Is the log folder created?
