I know, this has been asked before ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/124345/win-7-ultimate-wont-run-ubuntu-one-getting-information-please-wait-forev ), and I have already tried out the suggested answer, but it didn't work for me.

The situation is really that simple: I start Ubuntu One, latest version (afaik, it just updated itself). The main screen is grayed out. A message is displayed "Getting information, please wait..." with a loading bar going back and forth all the time.

I have waited for more than an hour now. I have tried restarting it as administrator after killing all related process, but the situation remains the same.

I'm using Windows 7, latest updates. Any more information required?

Any suggestions?

    As far as I know this was a bug with previous version, but now it's solved. You can give a try to uninstall U1 and reinstall U1 again.

I have had the same problem for a few months, as bad as I have decided to just drop the software. A few months later, I found the win xp version has already been developed to 4.20 version, installed it numerous times, tried to completely remove and nothing seemed to work until I have deleted xdg folder under application data. It definitely worth a shot. I am on xp sp3 by the way.

I had what seems to be the same problem under Win XP. All the linux clients worked perfectly with U1, but then I started to get the "Getting information, please wait" message under XP. Perhaps an update had happened secretly...or a long time ago and I had not started the client gui and so I had not seen the message. I think that the last client I installed was 3.0.2b.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it did not fix the situation. I deleted the ubuntuone and xdg directories under Local Settings\Application Data and then reinstalled 4.2. It started to work fine.
