[Scilab-users] Scilab 5.5.0 definitely doesn't work on Windows7 Ultimate 64-bit

[Fausto Arinos de A. Barbuto]

Hi Serge,

Merci pour votre réponse.

Unfortunately, there's not such a "glxinfo" command on my W7 system.  But I checked
the info about the graphics card (an AMD HD 6670) and apparently OpenGL is there
and active (version 6.14.10.12874).  I even updated the driver -- to no avail.  Scilab
5.5.0 keeps crashing.

This is frustrating because I don't remember it ever happening before with Scilab or
any other application.

I don't have to use Scilab, but I like it and would keep it if I could.  But, much to my
regret, it seems that I either go back to a previous Scilab version or quit Scilab
altogether.

Regards,

Fausto
