Apps Eclipse will not start

Sorry for the dumb question, but getting started is sometimes trickiest of all. I installed the Android ADT with eclipse. When I tried to run eclipse, I got an error that it could not find Java. The first thing I did was uninstall and reinstall Java, getting me to the 7.17 update.... Then I managed to figure out where they now hide the path command, and got WIndows to include my Java directory in the path. That moved me forward. Now I am getting a "Failed to load the INI shared library "c:\.....\jvm.dll" message. On another forum they suggested changing eclipse.ini to include a -vm pathname. That did not help. The path shown in the error message matches the path where this DLL file exists, so I am stumped.


Can someone please help me get started ?
If it matters, running Windows 7 and Java 7 update 17.

And as a quick side note, I have a Java app that stopped loading when I installed eclipse and the ADT. Now it just fails to load with no error message. Maybe two issues are related ? Anyone have any ideas?
