RapidMiner locks up on startup

I had to uinstall and move rapid miner 5.2 to a new install spot, and i didn't want to keep the repositories.  I did the uninstall, removed the original directory, then re-installed in a new location.  Now will start, but will not respond to any clicks when i say create new repository.  The only way i can get it to close is clicking the window close X, after which RM puts up a blank dialog box, and will close if i click where the OK button should be.  Or if i start with console, just close console.  The console doesn't say anything interesting, except complaining about some jdbc drivers and the xml file not having a password.

Please help!  I am completely stuck!

Thank you
