It is extremely unlikely this was caused by LMMS itself. LMMS does not write to any system folders that would affect the computer's boot ability (the likes of root C:\, C:\Windows, et. al) and it also does not contain any libraries that would conflict with the Windows namespace. Possible causes: 1. If you load your projects from a removable drive (such as a USB thumb drive or removable hard drive), make sure this isn't plugged in while booting your system as in some instances the computer fails to switch to your primary drive and tries booting the removable storage device. 2. If your hard drive has bad sectors on it, it can perpetuate faster by many rite operations that occur during a large install. LMMS install is relatively small when compared to GIMP, Photoshop, etc so you may want to create a test case against another installer and see if drive problems persist. 3. Your installer may be infected with a virus. In modern history, it is very rare that viruses make computers unbootable but it is not impossible. If this issue was caused by a virus, please verify that the version of LMMS that you are using originated from an authentic source. These viruses are extremely unlikely to make it into into our builds as the Windows build is created on a clean install of Ubuntu Linux. If you find that an installer is infected, please let us know where you got it from so we can address the issue properly. - [email protected] On Mon, Aug 11, 2014 at 2:02 PM, max <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello there, > When I installed the most recent version of LMMS on my brother's windows > 8.1 > PC (32 bit), the Computer could not boot correctly anymore (it just gave me > the blinking cmd cursor all the time).
