While you say my fix doesn't work I've had to do it at least 10 times and it's always worked for me.  I haven't been back to this thread since I started it and see there are 13 pages of the meter problem since I left.  I am still having problems with it but not as often now.  I used to have to do this weekly and now it's every few weeks.  I'm looking through the fixes to see what you all have found.  If this meter is somehow fixed no one will be looking through this thread.  Now they know there's a problem with it. ...

I have no idea either because I don't know programming but this website: What is Java and can I do without it?   Says:  To summarize: if you don't update JAVA and don't update your apps, then you might be O.K. for your system not dying (of course, you might be leaving yourself open for a vulnerability or two). If you get new software, it might come with a version-specific JAVA requirement so watch out for that. As for uninstalling it altogether, that could be problematic for various applications but you should find that out pretty quickly ("Oh, the backup software can't load...."). In that case, you can always reinstall. If you look at your task manager (Windows) at the processes and you see JAVA.EXE using the processor, that could be a sign you need JAVA. JAVASCRIPT is a scripting language based on JAVA that usually runs websites. Many suggest disabling scripting in your browser as a security means, but, if one of the websites you frequent requires that, you would need to turn it on again. You system may not become crippled for any of this but some of your applications might if JAVA is removed. Also, if you have trouble uninstalling JAVA, it could mean that one of your startup applications uses JAVA. Again, its an "application thing". If anyone sees something I said incorrectly, please let me know. I'd appreciate it. ... View more

I think I fixed it.  My Java was not showing anywhere on my PC including in Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.  I downloaded the java uninstaller file named JavaUninstallTool.  I ran it but it couldn't find the file to be deleted.  That worried me.  I downloaded the latest version of the Java installer named jre-8u121-windows-x64.  When I ran the file it saw I had Java installed (now I was really worried) but it gave me an option to install and repair so I tried that.   Before I installed this new Java I had uninstalled The Hughesnet Meter and that folder.  After I ran the Java installer and repaired I again ran the Hughesnet installer again with fingers crossed.  It installed this time with no errors and is running in my system tray.  When I mouse over it, it now shows my allowance.  I'm not sure if this will help the others here with problems but it's worth a shot.  Thanks everyone who tried to help and answered so quickly.       ...

I uninstalled again, went to C:\Users\Vampy\AppData\Roaming\HughesNet Usage Meter\ and deleted that folder but there was no other folder in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files 86x.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  I reinstalled but still got the same error.  I had the latest version of the Hughesnet Meter installed.   I was thinking of uninstalling java but it's not in add/remove programs and after doing a little research someone suggested typing this %SystemRoot%\system32\javacpl.cpl into start but when I do I get this:   So now I have to try to uninstall java if I can and reinstall it.  This has become a real chore.  I see this is not so easy to do and I might have to use cmd prompt which I have never been real comfortable doing.         ...
