GooTool Java Erroreyeinthesky4304/13/2009 - 11:36

Hi guys so I downloaded GooTool and every time I start it up I get this error:

Uncaught exception (java.lang.RuntimeException) Can't start primary instance server.

I have already checked and I am running the latest version of Java so I am not sure what the problem is. I am also running Windows Vista if that helps. Hope someone can help solve this issue thanks.

did you read the gootool troubleshooting page ( http://goofans.com/gootool/troubleshooting ) and looked in the log file?

What was the problem, out of interest?

this error means it was unable to open a local socket (it uses this to make sure only one GooTool is running at a time).

Hey everyone i got a problem with the Java RE6. When i try to install it ,it says that the wizard has been interrupted before it could finish. I even tried to re-download because i thought maybe the file was corrupt. Can someone help me please?

I've not heard of this. Try downloading it from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp#jdkJavaFX instead (scroll down to "JRE 6 Update 13"), or if you already tried it from there, try http://java.com/en/download/
