Problems with latest version of JD

I just installed JD 0.5.917 on my system running VHP, and I must say it turned out to be a mess.

First of all JD doesn't seem to restart automatically after an addon download.
Even after restarting manually the addon(scheduler) doesn't seem to have installed as it does not appear in the addon menu.

Another issue is with reconnect tab showing 'reconnect not configured properly' even after performing a successful reconnect with 'change ip'.

Please fix these issues immediately.
Thanks

did you try to update to version 0.5.949 via jdupdate.jar first ?

no jimpanse. how do I do that?

execute the jdupdate.jar in JDownloader dir .. it should be linked to java if you are using windows

Ok I updated as you said and the scheduler turned up in the menu, but my version shows 917 and not 949.

hm did your update work successfully ?... the update can take a while coz the servers are overloaded :-)

you can read in updatelog.txt if there were some problems.

Problem solved. Thanks Jim
