[mary-users] Could not start EmoSpeak (Mary 3.1.0)

[Hao Tang]

Hi all,

I installed Mary 3.1.0 on my computer (running Windows XP Pro) and everying 
is going fine except when I tried to start EmoSpeak I got the following 
error messages. Any ideas? BTW, I am using Java version 1.6.0_03. Could the 
error be somehow related to the java version?

Thanks.
Hao
