Question: I've got problems. Maple won't start. 9.5 or 10, both give same error.

Hello everyone, my first post here. I'm studying mechatronic engineering at university so Maple is somewhat of a godsend. I got Maple 9.5 some years ago and it worked perfectly. But sometime last year it started going wrong. Whenever I tried to start standard maple it would give me some cryptic errors and refused to start. I had to resort to using Maple classic worksheet and it works just fine. Try as I might I could not discern the cause of my problems. I tried disabling my firewall and a number of other suggested fixes, none of which helped. Recently I was given Maple 10.0 and I thought installing it might fix my problems. I wasn't so lucky. I get essentially the exact same error when attempting to start Maple 10.0: There are a few differences between the 9.5 error and the 10.0 error but they're essentially the same. Has anyone else come across this problem before? I thought it might be related to my using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Are there any Firefox users here that also run Maple fine? It occurred to me that it might also be my Java install but I've also tried reinstalling my Java goodies, to no effect. My main reason for wanting to use the standard Maple is the integration helper, I'm somewhat forgetful when it comes to my integration rules. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Tjhowse.
