Hi kitch8,

How the problem started might be cause by an ad-ware called "WebSavingsfromEbates".

First do this and see if that takes care of the problem... if not,
then try the other solutions I've posted.

Open MSCONFIG (Start, then Run) and look on the startup tab and see if
there is wjview listed there. If so you can uncheck it, that
**should** get rid of the error.

The error is caused by adware on your computer. Go to this link and
follow the instructions there:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/WJViewError.htm

Also download AdAware 6.0 Personal and install it. It will scan your
files and drives, then identify, quarantine, and delete all adware
items on your computer. I did this when I had the same problem. Just
be sure to use AdAware once every day to make sure you get no more
adware.

***My note:  no need to run it everyday... once a week is plenty in my
opinion.  More on that at the end of my answer.***

I was having the same trouble with my "at home" older computer
(Windows 98), and it worked for me. I didn't, however, muck about in
the actual registry, I just used the portion under "resolution" where
you go to start, run, etc. I think it had something to do with the
WebSavingsFromEbates that we seem to keep getting. I would get rid of
it, but since it was checked as a "startup" item, it kept trying to
launch, even though it was no longer there. I "de-selected" the
"websavingsfromebates" and another adware item we got somehow,
restarted the computer the error message was gone. Hope this helps. I
have learned more about my computer by having things go wrong - - It's
darned annoying though.

From Microsoft Knowledgebase:  "WJView error Could not execute main"
error message when you start your Windows XP-based computer:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831427 

NOTE:  To remove the remnants of this spyware [if present], download
Ad-Aware and update it to the current definitions using "Web Update"
feature and scan.

===============================================================================

I personaly use SPYBOT, AdAware and Spywareblaster which are Spyware
removal tools.  All are freeware, easy to install and use and remember
to check for updates prior to running.  I suggest once a week would be
frequent enough.

SpyBot-S&D : http://www.webattack.com/download/dlspybot.shtml 
Ad-aware : http://www.webattack.com/download/dladaware.shtml 
SpywareBlaster  :http://www.webattack.com/download/dlspywareblaster.shtml 

Then run at least **two** of the SPYWARE detection applications to
check for viruses.

===============================================================================

Lastly, I also found a few references on the web similar to the
following, however the problem most likely has been caused by spyware
installed on your computer.

ExpertsExchange question posted you may need to install the latest
build of Java Virtual Machine.

I'm a little upset that I didn't get "step by step" method's of
removal. I had to go to the websites that you suggested and spend more
time looking for the answers.
I used this site to remove it... http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831427
and another site to use the ad-ware.
