I don't remember but did you try loading the Minion-jfx.jar file manually? This has worked for a few people.

Load Minion using the jar file:
  1. Make sure you have Java7 installed
  2. Find your minion installation folder (default C:\Users\ISHTAR\AppData\Local\Minion\ )
  3. open the "app" folder inside there
  4. double click or right click "Open with >> Java(TM)" the Minion-jfx.jar

Does Minion load this way for you?

Also a few more questions:
  • What security software are you running?
  • Do you have an application installed called "Killer Network Manager?"
  • Are you using any browser AddOns/Extensions that allow you to view region locked videos?

Hello again,

I double checked that im running Java 7, and followed your directions to try starting the minion app with java and it just got stuck as usual (you hadn't mentioned starting minion in the above fashion before).

to answer your questions...
Im only running windows security essentials.
im not running, nor have i ever heard of "Killer network manager"
im not running any browser addons that allow me to view region locked videos...frankly i would like to now that ive heard of them...know any good ones that wont conflict with minion?

in case a list of my broweser addons would be helpful, please see below;
adobe acrobat 10.1.2.45
divX VOD helper plugin 1.1.0.6
DivX web helper 2.1.2.265
java deployment toolkit 7.0.600.19 and 10.60.2.19
java platform SE 7 U60 10.60.2.19
Microsoft office 2013
shockwave flash 14.0.0125
shockwave flash 13.0.0.214
VLC web plugin 2.1.3.0

Please let me know if theres anything else i can do. if you add additional error logging to minion, will it take the form of an upcoming update?



thanks for your reply!
i hope we can figure this out soon. im assuming others have the same issue i do?
