Give it time Peter - it will load eventually. Very much depends on your computer.
If it never loads then yes, do a reinstall. I think if you try a reinstall in the same directory it will find the older installation and ask do you want it removed. There is now a version 2.12.2 Cheers - Phil From: Qgis-user [mailto:qgis-user-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Peter Kroopnick Sent: Friday, 8 January 2016 2:45 PM To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [Qgis-user] starting QGIS desktop I recently installed QGIS 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 files\QGIS Lyon\bin\nircmd.exe. When I click on QGIS desktop, the 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?
