JMeter - menus not working and errors in log files

Question

I'm running the latest version of JMeter on a Windows 8 desktop and I can't add anything to the test plans because the menus don't expand out and show any options?

The log file contain null pointer exceptions:

jmeter.gui.action.Load: Unexpected error java.lang.NullPointerException

Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Answer 1

Worked it out, the following was set in the system environment variables:

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -javaagent:"C:\Program Files\LogiGear\TestArchitect\binclient\agents\java\lib\ext\TAJavaLoader.jar"
java version "1.7.0_79"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_79-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)

Removed it and voila, it works fine. I assume that JAR is called every time a java program runs which was causing JMeter problems.
