Hello

After applying a large number of windows updates (~150) to an XP machine I am unable to run JDownloader. Prior to applying these updates JDownloader ran fine.

Background is I had an old XP machine that had not been used for 18 months because of an operating system problem.
- I did a Windows Repair Install which fixed the operating system problem.
- Then I applied Windows Service Pack 3 and installed free Avast anti-virus.
- I then opened my existing JDowloader, updated it to the latest version, and used it successfully.
- Next, I applied all the missing Windows Updates, and now JDownloader will not start.

- I have updated my version of Java and tried turning off some of the Avast scanning features without success. I can see the Java executable running Task Manager and it is using about 50% CPU, but no JDownloader user interface appears on screen.

I would welcome any ideas on how to proceed.

Thanks for your time.
