Usage meter javascript error
A javascript error occured in the main process. Uncaught exception: Error: Error parsing your configuration file: [C:\Users\Vampy\AppData\Roaming\HughesNet Usage Meter\status-meter.config]: Unexpe...
The following fix for the Javascript error won't cripple your computer. Just don't delete anything other than what's described in the instructions. Regarding Windows, you'll probably have to change your folder options to be able to view Hidden Items to see the AppData folder and its contents described in the directions. To do so, click "View", then check the box for "Hidden Items", as you see in the red boxes in the picture below. When you're finished with the procedure, uncheck "Hidden Items" so they are hidden again, as they are hidden by default for a reason. If you have a Mac, I'm not sure if you have to unhide anything.

In the event that this happens:
1. Fully quit the Usage Meter from it's own menu by clicking on the donut in the menubar and clicking "Quit".
2. Look for the following directory
Windows: C:\Users\[your User name]\AppData\Roaming\
Mac: /Users/[your User name]/Library/Application Support/
3. Carefully delete just the "HughesNet Usage Meter" folder under that and empty the trash.
4. Restart the Usage Meter. This will regenerate all the underlying information as if it were run for the first time, thus correcting the error.
Vampy,
Try uninstalling the status meter and usage meter from your system, then navigate to C:\Users\Vampy\AppData\Roaming\HughesNet Usage Meter\, and delete anything that desides in that folder. Also navigate to c:\program files\hughesnet-usage-meter and delete anything that may reside in that folder. Then download and install the latest version (Should be 6.6) and see what happens.
I'm having the same problem, but I don't have the folder C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\HughesNet Usage Meter. It worked fine until the other day. Seems my Hughenet folder is under C:/Program Files, and it won't allow me to delete it. I've done the Java uninstall and reinstall and the same with the usage meter. Nothing seems to work.
As mentioned, you need to replace 'Username' with your actual username. But there are also other reasons you might not have such a directory. Easiest thing to do is just type %AppData% in Windows Explorer, which will take you straight there regardless of how your machine or user account is set up.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
For some reason my AppData folder was hidden, so I typed in the command that you gave me, which brought me to my AppData folder. Deleted the folder in question and now my status meter is working. Again, Thanks.
I had this problem happen to me this weekend too. I wonder if an unrelated program updated and caused the glitch ?
Thank you to the OP for the repair. I probabaly would have never figured it out.
Guys... Java it self has nothing to do with Javascript... It that is the case, very few websites would work right now seeing as Java doesn't work in most browsers anymore.

Replace "Username" with the name of the account your loging into the computer with.
