Matrex tries to read the properties from the file:
<appdir>/config/main.properties</appdir>
where appdir is the root directory of the application (containing the matrex_start.jar file and many directories).
Something goes wrong when reading that file. Can you please check that the file exists in the right place and attach here its content?
i tried what follows...don't know if it is relevant...

How does $DATA_PATH get used, there is nothing in path variable
help=$DATA_PATH/config/help.xml
defwinpos=$DATA_PATH/config/defwinpos.xml
machine=$DATA_PATH/config/machinesettings.xml

The problem is that Matrex tries to break one of the paths in the main.properties file in single directories and recompose it later to a path. In the second operation there is something that is empty, giving the error.
Also, how are the permissions on the C:\Programs\Matrex directory? Can Matrex read/write without problems?
No, matrex can only read and execute.
Authenticated users can write. In 8.1 i think i would have to create a
special user class otherwise ANY application could write to matrex.
In 8.1 matrex should only be writing to <user>\Appdata, shouldn't it?
will reply to other questions shortly.</user>

Can you post the structure of the Matrex directory (command line TREE command, for example)?

Hei can you please replace all instances of $DATA_PATH in the config/main.properties file with C:/Programs/Matrex?
i uninstalled and reinstalled, tried putting matrex in user, but even
though i used uninstaller it found programs/matrex again, although it did
put $DATA_PATH in users.
Anyway i ran from Programs again after changing mains as requested, and got
this
main ->
help=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/help.xml
defwinpos=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/defwinpos.xml
machine=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/machinesettings.xml
operators=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/operators.xml
winpos=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/winpos.xml
gui=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/guisettings.xml
session=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/session.xml
lib=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/libraries.cld
plugins=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/plugins.cld
bin=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/matrex.cld
templates=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/templates.cld
scripts=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/scripts.cld
addresses=C:/Programs/Matrex/config/addresses.xml
i will give this another try.

Why? see my previous email.
The programs are not in c:\Programs\Matrex any more they are in
c:\Users\Gerald\Matrex, which allows write to the folders, and your setup
duplicates the path as indicated in the note and in the attachment.
There are two instances of C:\ in the one path name, which makes no sense
whatever.
The attachments were matrex.rtf and matrex2.rtf.
This is what i sent you....................
I uninstalled from program files and deleted the folder and re-installed
in user.
The matrex path setup duplicates the path name.

Can you see the duplication underlined and in bold, have you looked at the
line for bin in the attachment?
