I am running windows 98 on a Gateway computer. The problem I am having is when trying to install Java I keep getting Error Message 1311 Source file not found. I have tried more than one Java program and it keeps happening. Please help.

exactly what are you trying to install and from where?
Best you go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp and download the installation you want.
If you want the compiler, get the JDK, else get the JRE.
Download the offline installer just to make sure it's not something on your network.

Also read the installation instructions carefully, you may want to print them out.
