Hello,<br>
<br>
Neither 32- nor the 64-bit versions of Scilab 5.5.0 seem to like
this computer and it's<br>
64-bit W7 Ultimate OS. The installs go fine, but when I start
Scilab up all it does<br>
is to flash its GUI for a tenth of a second and then vanishes.
Task Manager says it's<br>
not there either running on the background yet invisible or not
responding.<br>
<br>
What could that problem be? Can anyone help? Have any of you
had this problem<br>
before? What other packages not self-contained in the installer
do I need? I have<br>
Java 8 64-bit, would that be the problem? Does Scilab generate
an error log report<br>
I could post here/somewhere to get some insight on the problem?<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Fausto<br>

Hi Fausto,<br>
<br>
I flew away from Microsoft 23 years ago, but I remember that it was
possible for you to<br>
open a DOS terminal ;-))<br>
<br>
The reason of your problems is probably an OpenGL configuration
problem.<br>
<br>
Could you type "glxinfo" without the quotes and post the result of
this command.<br>
<br>
...if it does not begin like this ... try first to configure
correctly your graphic card driver<br>
for OpenGL and direct rendering (DRI or DRI2) compatibility.<br>
