download the 9.2 client and install it.

since you provided no error messages, we cannot determine if you problem is an extremely rare one, or a very common one like Pentium IV + java issues.
(include error messages and software versions for client and server).

If you are still developing against an 8.1.7 database, I'd strongly recommend that you migrate development to a 9.2 database, with the latest patchset (currently 9.2.0.4) applied. Its easiest to apply all the patchsets prior to creating a new database.
