Cannot open ddms.bat in order to take screenshots on Nexus One

I wanted to take screenshots of my Nexus One (2.2 FRF91/T-Mobile/Stock) but I'm just a newbie so I followed the guide on andriodcentral Anrdroid 101 tips. (Sorry I can't link to it since I'm a new user on these forums
That guide led me to another guide on how to install the sdk
When I tried to pull my 3rd party apps, cmd didnt do anything it simply said "0 pulled, 0 skipped", however I was able to pull my standard apps. I'm confident the sdk was installed correctly though.
I'm using a laptop with Windows 7 64bit and an AMD processor, I'm not sure if that information is helpful or not
I've already downloaded and installed the android 2.2 sdk, java runtime environment, java development kit. I've also properly installed the ADB drivers for the Nexus One. I also downloaded Eclispe but when I tried to run it, the application won't open. I have a feeling its because I didn't install it properly.
My problem now is that the ddms.bat (Dalvik Debug Monitor) won't open when I double click on it. I tried to right click and run as administrator but that didn't work either. In both cases when I try to open it, a cmd windows opens for a fraction of a second and then closes before I can read it. So I googled it and found a website that seemed to be able to solve the problem but its geared towards linux users.
I specifically followed these directions "To fix this a replace of the bundled swt is needed. The file is located under android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/tools/lib/. Rename swt.jar to swt_32b.jar. Next download swt for your platform. I have used swt-3.4.2-gtk-linux-x86_64.zip. Unpack the file swt.jar in the zipfile to android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/tools/lib/ and finally start ddms" but that didnt work either. So now my android-sdk-windows/tools/lib/x86_64 is full of other files rather than just having that swt.jar file.
Can anyone please help on getting ddms.bat to open or on how to get eclipse to open?, I'm so close to being able to take screenshots.
Some notes:
1.I'm not interested in rooting (too worried about bricking my phone), so please don't recommend that I root first.
2. USB debugging was ON when I tried it

Open up a command prompt. (Start -> search "cmd")
use CD to get to the folder where you keep ddms.bat
open ddms.bat from the command prompt by simply entering "ddms.bat" then press Enter. That will keep it from closing the window.
Just to see if it gives any errors.

Thank you so much!
However the error message that cmd is now giving me is : WARNING: Java not found in your path.
Could you please tell me how I can do this? for the time being I'm searching the internet for help but the first thing I found seems super complicated

I finally got it to work, wish I could link the imgur pic, but I'm still a new user but here's the end of the imgur link code :ucBpY

Can't install Android SDK - "can't find" JDK

Never mind - hitting Back and then Next again seems to get around this. It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, but it did work for me.
I'm going a bit nuts trying to install the Android SDK using the installer installer_r10-windows.exe on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. It always gives me an error about not having the Java development kit installed, despite the fact that I've installed it using jdk-6u24-windows-x64.exe. I have properly set the environment variables for both the jre and the jdk and rebooted. None of this seems to make any difference.
Any hints?

I had the same problem. I downloaded the zip file, instead of the exe, and that worked.

mstevens,
You really don't need the SDK to to the "NVFlash" stuff needed in connection with the ROMs here.
You could go to the "NVFlash" Recovery thread STICKY at the start of
Developers forum and download the "Windows" .zip files there and install
it. The procedure is part of the NVFlash stuff.
If you need the whole SDK then so be it. But if you don't this is an
alternative.

I'd already been running stuff from the extracted .zip file.
One of my computers seems unable to run an emulator - even though it can create .avd files with no difficulty, it claims it can't find them when I try to launch one.
I'd hoped that a fully-installed version of the sdk might fix this. It didn't. Oh, well.
However, as noted in the edit to my original post, I did find a somewhat silly fix for my installation problem.

Problems Downloading the SDK - Sprint Evo Shift

So I'm attempting to root my Evo Shift.
Before that, I need to download and Install both HTC Sync (Already Installed) and the SDK.
But The SDK won't install after I downloaded it. It says I need the Java SE Development Kit (JDK). I downloaded the JDK off of this page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I tried the first one. Same thing, didn't let me install the SDK when I tried again. Then I tried the last one. Same thing again. I already have JRE. I just need the JDK. The JDK got properly installed, but it still didn't let me go through with installed the SDK.
Does anyone know what I can possibly do?

Are there ways around this?

I got enough replies on my post for someone to tell me something.
Someone HAS to know the solution to this problem.
I read that if you just click back and then next again it will work. Tried that and I failed.
SOO many things I have tried.
I went back on the SDK download website and downloaded the .zip file instead of the .exe file. I extracted it but don't know where to go from there.
Is there another where of rooting my phone without SDK?

Bump
ANYONE?!

[Q] Genymotion malfuntion

Hello guys, I purposely put that title above. The actual problem is I can't drag and drop to flash the Gapps, when I try to drag and drop, the icon changes to no-entry icon(see in attachment). Recently I've downloaded Genymotion and started using it, but I can't find those Gapps, so I browsed and I found that we need to flash them ourselves. Now ! Everywhere, the tutorial talking about this flashing always uses "DRAG & DROP" wth ! I can't do it. I've found some similar case and thread outside there. But maybe it's only a rare case, I still can't found an absolute solution for it.
I've came to stackoverflow threads with titles :
Genymotion 2.0 “drag and drop”
How to install google play service in the genymotion (ubuntu 13.04) .Currently it doesn't have drag and drop suport
(I can't post links yet). So I've tried all of them. But nothing work. One of them said that the problem is I've not installed Android SDK ("If you can't Drag&Drop that means you don't have the Android SDK installed on your PC") .I don't really understand that one. As I know, Android SDK doesn't have any connection to genymotion and they are not being installed instead only extracted. But somehow, I've edited my genymotion ADB setting to the Android SDK directory. I HAVE ANDROID SDK. Guys once again, appreciated that you're reading this till here. I've been working on this for hours and there's no solution. Please some experts help troubleshooting this trouble together with me. I'm sure there is someone out there who is facing the same problem too
