Thanks for the help and advice.  I attempted to install the JRE from the link provided, but as I was installing the software, "it" said that the JRE was already installed, and asked if I wanted to reinstall.  Since I was having "issues" with the JRE, I went ahead and reinstalled.  I got the same error, as before.  So, I searched the term: 'classpath windows 7', and found a site that had a walkthrough on how to set the environment variables on your computer.  I followed those instructions exactly, and I am now up and running.  

I don't know why this is necessary, but it may have something to do with changes to the way the JRE/JDK installs in the latest updates, the Java folder is placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_18\bin, and I believe that in previous versions of windows the default location is just c:\programs\java...  

That may not be, but nonetheless I am on solid ground, and the game is afoot.  This is going to be fun.

cheers,
Jonathan
