Answer 1

Your problem lies here:

   ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/user/Desktop/hi/xD/JavaApplication2/image.png");
   JLabel imagelabel = new JLabel(character);

You create an ImageIcon "image" but you create your JLabel with "character".

It should be:

JLabel imagelabel = new JLabel(image);
