Cannot start <oXygen/>

Really hate to make my first post like this...
Attempting to start Oxygen gives the following message in a "fatal error" window at 2%

Cannot start <oXygen/>.

I've tried everything from uninstalling everything java and oxygen and reinstalling them to a few tries at similar looking problems (resetting any changes between each attempt,) with no luck. I don't know enough about Java or the internals of Oxygen to figure out what's going wrong, and it was working fine up until a few days ago.

Hello,

It seems a problem in the JVM that cannot load an icon for the Swing file browser dialog that comes with the JVM. Install a different version of the JVM and start oXygen with this JVM by setting the JAVA_HOME variable to the home folder of the JVM if you start oXygen from the shortcut or specifying the path to the java executable in the oxygen.bat script if you start oXygen with this script.


Regards,
Sorin

...JVM... cannot load an icon...

Oh.


This is one of those cases where "replace user and try again" is wholly appropriate.

I had altered the default icons for several system folders, and then just recently, and rather stupidly, deleted the folder containing said icons.

Restored all icons to default and Oxygen works.
