Re: [sc-users] freetts and windows (noob)

 Hi Sciss,

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried putting the .jar files in a lot of different locations:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib
c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib
c:\Program Files (x86)\SuperCollider\
c:\Program Files (x86)\SuperCollider\SCClassLibrary\
c:\Program Files (x86)\SuperCollider\SCClassLibrary\SwingOSC\

I even reinstalled the jre into the root drive and tried:

c:\Java\

Each time I would change the classpath to include these paths, but each 
time I tried to run the example I would get the same result.

I'll try putting it in the Extensions folder and see what happens. It 
just might be time to get a Mac...
