What is PicoDS?  If you mean PicoDriveDS, why are you trying to open it on your computer?

EDIT:  looking at a very similar post on DCEmu I'm assuming you made, you mean PicToDS, the converter for Comic Book DS.  In that case, you'll need the .NET framework, which you can get from Windows Update I believe.

i downloaded it but it didnt help. can you link me to the forum where you found that? thanks

I'm referring to the post in a random topic at DCEmu that said nearly the exact same thing:  "when i try to run pictosds i get the error:"could not find the main class. program will exit" can anyone help me? i installed the newest java."

The post has not been answered.

If the .NET framework doesn't help, then I don't know what to do.

class errors are usually associated with java or .jar files !?

if its a java file then I can probably help


do you have JAVA RUNTIME ENVIROMENT installed !?

you say you installed the latest java but was it the JRE (java runtime enviroment)

do you also have JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE installed  get it here

lastly going blind here but from experience if your trying to execute a .jar file (file with a java extension) with a command prompt it should be started like this :-

javaw.exe -jar FILENAME.jar  

where FILENAME is replace with the name of the .jar file

So it turns out i installed jre-6u1 so i guess i had the envoriment installed. i also installed the virtual machine but it didnt help. when i ran that command ypu said java virt machine said "invalid or corrupt jarfile pictods.exe". any more ideas?
