Uninstall from Settings,

Install fresh copy.

Sounds like the install didn't get a chance to complete.

So I did a search for the app and found it. I put it on my desktop and when I click it starts to load but then it just disappears.

I'm pretty sure your running the uninstaller right after the installer. There's a bit of a glitch in the 1.2.2 installer if your not careful.

When the installer starts, it prompts you to uninstall the current version. If you click away, you may not notice the prompt hiding behind a window. Thus, you install. Installer closes then you see a prompt to uninstall and you click it.

Maybe that's what's happening?

I am not sure that it is loading correctly - the website shows this after the app is loaded on my pc. It continue to show that the app is downloading

If it's not launching after starting, it could be viewtopic.php?f=11&t=39206

I tried to install handbrake on my notebook and it worked great.
I then uninstalled it on this pc. I looked for anything that had the name handbrake - and deleted it. Reset my pc.
Downloaded it again and it works great. Wish I knew what caused the issue.

Thanks s55 for trying to help
