The first thing you should do when reporting a bug is double-check your setup, especially if you are just getting started. Make sure you are using the correct version of the Java Runtime Environment. (FreeMind 1.0.1 is compiled and run under Java 1.6.) Make sure you have your Path and ClassPath variables set correctly.
