Hi,
Can you see QGIS.bat in your QGIS program file directory? Try clicking on
that. Could it be an anti virus? Try deactivating it.
With the easy installer, you can use the windows control panel.
Do you have many plugins activated? Try removing them from the .QGIS
directory found in your personal user folder. Active hidden file and
folder in windows to see it.

for the first time. Version 2.12.1 on Windows 7 enterprise SP1. The icons I
have to start the various programs, like QGIS Desktop 2.12.1 point to \program

seems to start OK, but every time I get the message “restoring loaded plugins”,
which can take a couple of minutes. I am about to reinstall unless someone has
a better idea. To reinstall do I start with the preremove.bat or use the
uninstall in the Windows Control Panel? Thanks Pete Kroopnick 2457 Desert
