Inkscape closes immediately after open

Postby bigcheez » Fri May 14, 2010 10:10 am

I have not used Inkscape in a short while and tried opening it up today.
Everything seems fine except as soon as the program opens it closes without any error message.
I tried uninstalling without saving preferences and the reinstalling Inkscape.
Still the same outcome, the program starts and quits right away.
I have a feeling the extension-errors.log might provide some clues.

Remember, this is after a complete reinstall.
The application data\extensions folder is empty.
In the preferences.xml file there are no entries under extensions.
Oh, ya ... I am using ver .47 on XP home (32bit).
Any suggestions?

OK ... I found the conflict.
I tried disabling running programs one by one.
Something I should have done before reinstalling.
The conflict was with the programs 'noisy mouse' & 'noisy keyboard'.
The programs can be running but the sound events have to be disabled.
I am not sure why this would conflict with inkscape, but there it is.
They did not effect any other programs on my computer.
I was gonna delete this post but thought other might benefit if having this problem.

completely off topic ...
firefox's spellchecker flags the words firefox and inkscape but not the word gonna?
