Since the stacks load okay in the IDE, I'm not sure graphic drivers or QT is the problem -- but both are worth checking anyway. They are good potential solutions. The main difference between loading the stacks in the IDE and in a standalone is the startup sequence. In the IDE, startup isn't se

Hiya, Have you tried the 'Reliability and Performance Monitor' in W7? You can define a small data collection set and see what happens (if anything!) during the app initiation. Either that or tell any AV apps to keep their fingers off of it... Cheers, Luis. On 17/09/2010 12:38, tekne wrote:
