[Solved]Why can't I launch Inkscape?

Postby netheril96 » Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:19 pm

Last night it was working, but today it suddenly won't work.Just a dialog "Cannot launch the program (0x000000005)" without any other notice.
Any clue how this happens? My OS is Windows 7 and I have unistalled and reinstalled Inkscape several times.
Thank you in advance.

Does the dialog come from Windows or Inkscape?
That "0x...." reminds me of Windows error number (I've seen them when using Windows Update, by which I don't imply that you're having a problem with Updates, just that I think looking towards Windows might yeild more info). But the titlebar of the dialog will be the best clue as to where the dialog originated.

Oh, after I reboot the problem goes away.
