At least with the previous release 5.2.2 there are some know issues with graphics card drivers. I had the most recent nVidia driver installed and it would crash scilab on plot. I rolled it back to a pevious version by two increments and the driver works great with Scilab. Some graphics cards might need a newer driver other a slightly older one. This may be related to your issue.<br>

<div>I am a new user of scilab. I downloaded scilab 5.3.0 64 bits on a windows 7
home premium (64 bits) computer. I wrote a simple program that computes y as a
function of x (e.g. y=sin(x)). The program computes correctly and prints x and
y. However, when it comes to the plot function it fails to plot and closes
(exits) scilab 5.3.0. Similarly, anytime I need graphics, such as the
demonstrations (provided with the scilab download) that use graphics, I am
unable to get plots/graphics and scilab closes (exits)</div>
<div>Would you please let me know if I am missing something or if there is
a fix for this problem. My e-mail address is: <a href="mailto:kaprielkrikorian@aol.com" target="_blank">kaprielkrikorian@aol.com</a>.</div>
<div>Thank you very, very much.</div>
