Hi folks,
I downloaded ( 2times) and installed (3times) IntelliJ like in the installation guides. But If I wanna run it, it just shows me a loading screen and it doesn't launch. I tried to install it on my mac, and it worked out fine!
Information about my windows machine: windows 8 64 bit
I looked up in google but I dindt found any issue!
Probably somebody has an idea.
greeting Patrick

Still don't know the connection between those programs but maybe if you have Ad-aware installed, try to uninstall it and see if that helps.

Treehouse TeacherHmmm...Is it listed in your processes or is it actually dead?
Ctrl+Shift+Esc used to list your running processes. Do you see IntelliJ in there?

40,498 PointsHi Craig,
I start the IntelliJ IDEA, check my task-manager, and it tells me:
- there is no IntelliJ App running (like chrome at the moment),
- in background processes there running 2 IntelliJ IDEA (32Bit) processes one with 0.6MB Ram and the other with 60.1MB
So no IntellJ in the active appas just as background process.

so far so good, IntelliJ and Andrio Studio launch after several hours of loading.
I downloaded Android-Studio too see if that works..... mac/yes win8/no. So let run in background .. and after hours (4-5) it starts up. Android-Studio just tells me about a update. "Update Info Android Studio is ready to update."
IntelliJ tells me: "Internal HTTP server disabled Cannot start internal HTTP server. Git integration, JavaScript debugger and LiveEdit may operate with errors. Please check your firewall settings and restart IntelliJ IDEA".
and I checked my firewall, doesnt help

40,498 PointsThanks for the input Sven,
my Eclipse is launching and running without any problems. I don't have any tool like ad-aware, but I tried to pause AVAST during the launch of Android Studio and IntelliJ to see if AVAST blocks them, but no didn't launch faster.
but thx anyway,

15,719 PointsHey Patrick,
Since this isn't a direct answer to your question, I'm just going to post as a comment, but I used the jGrasp IDE in the Java courses I took a while back. It's really easy to install and use. Just make sure you have the Java JDK downloaded for your machine before installing any Java IDE; otherwise, you'll likely have to manually set it up later.
