Made an account with beta key, unable to launch client, java is latest version, unabled antivirus, spybot and windows firewall and still nothing else than a black widows appear! This black widow use a lot of my memory but nothing happen, cant even close it with the regular X, I have to ctrl-atl-del to close it.

You might want to try with loftars Low-Memory Client

Not sure about the memory, but i tried and it didnt works, i have 6 ram and 4 core computer with a very good graphic dar, i dhouldnt have problem with any memory. I dont know what else to do? Still having this black screen when trying to perform the client link.

No idea if it fits u, but I had also some probs running the client, until I removed every trace of old java installations (and java browser add-ons) and did a new install of the recent version.

And/or try to set graphics properties to a mininum, maybe ur card is too posh
although the game is currently not running, u should get an error message at least

I went to control pannel and uninstall program, uninstalled java then downloaded again. Tried to drop my screen resolution and nothing happened too. Still having same problem, a white screen that turn black whan i minimize widow and set it back. I can see when i ctrl+alt+del that java i using some memory but nothing happens.

A screenshot of what you are seeing would help. If you have triple buffering enabled in your GPU settings, turn it off.

where do i see if i have tripple buffering and how do i turn it off? I cant upload any image it says to big or extension not allowed.....I have to say that once opened i cant close with the regular X button, i have to close via task manager.

This will cause a crash as OpenGL 1.4 doesn't know how to deal with it and gives an error saying it's unable to make context current (unable to flip pages). nVidia might have found a way to work around this, but ATI hasn't yet that I'm aware of.

It could be that you're system is choking on the resource downloads while trying to load and run the game at the same time. The client loads asynchronously much like a web page if I recall. If you get enough of the world data, you can play, but many objects will still be invisible. Until you get the map data loaded, though, you can't even do that. I've had issues with this off and on with my older system if I forget to log out in a relatively empty area. Slower processors, slower network connections, and lower RAM computers seem to have this most frequently.

The thing to look at is how much processor it's using. If it's downloading and running, it'll be using 100% of a core (or a fraction thereof based on the number of CPU cores--50% for a dual core, 25% for a quad core, etc.)

Seems I recall an old bug in Java that was causing something like this in HnH. If it's been a few years since you've removed and reinstalled Java, it might fix the issue.

Convert the image to a .jpg, .png, or other low-memory format. Most screenshots are saved as bitmaps (.bmp) and aren't compressed. To change driver setting, open your graphics driver tool (Forceware for nVidia, Catalyst for ATI/AMD) and find the right location and change it. There may also be a utility in the system tray you can use to change it quickly.

when i 1st launch it

After i minimize then reopen it....to let u know i cant close with the regular X button, I have to close via task manager or it wont close the runing java program.
