title: Novice: JNLP app won't run (Unable to Load Resources)
body: <p>Forgive me, but I'm very new to this.  I have a JNLP file on my work computer, and have access to work at home.  I set up my VPN, and copy/pasted the JNLP file to my home computer.  However, when I launch it (I upgraded to Java 7 using Windows 7 Home Premium), I get the Unable to Launch Application issue.</p>
  
  <p>It shows Unable to Load Resources and then</p>

  <p>I've researched online quite a bit but to be honest, most of it seems to be on a developer level.   I'm just trying to get the JNLP file to launch.  </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  </p>
