[In progress] Can't get JDownloader to open

I've had JDownloader for over a year and it's worked fine until today. I ran the updates when prompted and then later (an hour or two) I had to re-start the computer. Now I can't get it to open. When I double click on the desktop icon it will send something to the system tray but I can't open from there nor from the icon on the right hand side of the system tray. Actually if I right click on the icon on the right side of the system tray it will open but every thing is grayed out and nothing works when I click on it. Any ideas? One other non related question is that for file factory, fileserve, and filesonic JDownlloader will not read the capcha automatically, I have to manually enter it. Why is this? Thanks.

i'm having the same problem after i update
try this:
remove/rename the "plugins" folder from the "JD" install directory
run the JD again
it should run with pop up showing there is new update

It seams jdshutdown is causing the problem. I deleted it (folder and jar file) and it now works fine.

You just need to deactivate it in jD's Extension Settings.

Done that, it actually gets Jd to open but gives a "plugin error" that doesn't allow to download..... any other suggestions?

I'm doing a clean install now, hope that works

Exit jD and start jdupdate.jar in jD's program folder.

Done, that doesn't work for me..

I've also tried with a clean install, it worked at first, but when I restarted, it didn't open anymore :(

what java version/os do you use?

I just updated to V6, update 26 (build 1.6.0_26-b03)

ps. after I run jdupdate the icon is in the tray, but there's no way to resume the main window

i'm having the exact same problem. I didn't install the new java or any other program. I'm seeing the icon in the system tray but it doesn't pop up the main window.
I have Java build 1.6.0_23-b05

i would like not to lost the download list because i don't remember the source of the links

close jd and start windows_createlog.bat and send me the 2 generated logfiles

[Jiaz]

close jd and start jdupdate.jar and try again

Awesome!!! It works finally

Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jiaz]

thanks for feedback

Thanks you, its working.

I have the exact same problem...the standard JD worked fine yesterday. Today when I booted jd it is frozen and nonresponsive.

I've tried running the jdupdate jar which runs but doesn't change anything. Even deleted a file which update replaced but still unresponsive.

Switching to Nightly...hope this is resolved soon.

In order to know for sure what's happening, please, launch windows_createlog.bat or if you don't use Windoze, use the Emergency Log instructions and provide the two log files that are produced.

Found the problem...it is JDtray. I had it in use but since jd was unresponsive I couldn't disable it.

My solution was to delete JDtray from the Jdownloader plugins folder and then open jd and deselect JD Light Tray. Jd then prompted to update and reinstalled JDtray. I then reselected JD Light Tray and it now seems to be working fine.
