Hi Walter,

I am running OS X 10.11.6 with Java 7 Update 71, and can't duplicate the problem. I have started the upgrade to the new OS X version, but that looks like it will take a while. I doubt that is the problem, but I need to make sure, and should know tomorrow night. I have students that use Java 8, so I don't think that is the problem either.

In the mean time, this sounds like an installation problem (although there is not much that can go wrong). While I am updating, would you please remove the current AIJ installation and re-download AIJ, unzip it, and move the AstroImageJ folder to the Applications folder. Then double-click AstroImageJ64.app to open AIJ, then click the bottom half of the AIJ toolbar and either send a screen shot of the information reported in the lower half of the toolbar, or type it out exactly. It will look something like this:

Note that the java version may be 1.6.0_65 or similar, even with Java 8 installed. If it will work, also go to Toolbar->Help->About AstroImageJ  and send me a screen shot of the window that opens. It will look something like this:

I'll let you know what I find about the new OS X version tomorrow night U.S. time.
