Which OS do you use? And which localized version?
We test it against Windows XP SP2, Windows 98, Linux, Mac OS X.
On English, French, and Japanese versions at least.
Other beta-testers may use Chinese versions of this OS.
They don't have reported such problem.

Which version of Java is installed on your system? If you have Windows, look for this information in your control panel, by clicking on the "Java" icon.

May be you've got a problem because your home directory is in a folder that has some strange characters (spaces in your home directory is OK, but may be you've got a complex user name that made Windows map your name to a very special home directory name).

This may also happen if you have upgraded your OS from windows 98 to NT/2000/XP and converted the FAT32 partition to NTFS, under a distinct OS locale (FAT/FAT32 filesystems do not record the codepage they use to create legacy short names, and Windows 95/98 were known to not always track their codepage correctly, notably if your AUTOEXEC.BAT was deleted accidentaly, dropping the CHCP command needed to specify the system locale before Windows was started). Using CHKDSK may help correct the legacy short names to match with Unicode encoded long names displayed in Windows Explorer.
