Bricked AW installation

[dwsel]

Hello,
I've been testing AW on the new computer. At first it started ok, but there has been some software/os updates installed and today it's not starting... I've cleaned up the appdata and programdata and reinstalled AW but it's crashing at start...
Any suggestions? I'm not sure what's causing this interference - I didn't catch the moment when it stopped working.

This is indeed a very strange error.

You can try to start Artweaver with pressed shift key to clear every preset and cache. If this does not work, maybe removing all registry keys can help:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Artweaver Plus\4.0\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Artweaver Plus\4.0\

No luck - either way these registry keys were empty after uninstall. SHIFT didn't help. I've run SFC but it didn't found any broken system files. I've tried an older version (4.5) but it's the same error.

Maybe I could force x86 install too see if there's also problem? or run some dev version?

[edit]
Also checked other compatibility settings or if I didn't accidentally set ones, but nope. Antivirus turned off - no result.

Oh, and BTW: Win 8.1 with all updates + optional.

[edit2]
Good news is it works in the safe mode (didn't check thoroughtly but at least it opens without crash).

Solved problem by myself...

While preparing the report for you using Sysinternals Process Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/pl-pl/sysi ... 96645.aspx I've suddenly noticed that there's an application showing up that shouldn't be affecting the startup process at all. After uninstalling the application AW works again.

I consider the problem solved. If you wish to further investigate this interaction I'll forward you more details and the faulty AW startup log via PM.

Cheers!
