Krita has started crashing on startup in windows 7. It was working previously without problems. I have tried installing the latest version, previous working versions, deleting the /krita directory in appData, running the .zip version. I get the same result no matter what I try: it crashes during or just after the splash screen.

DebugView captures the following when I launch Krita 2.9.11.0:

00000001 0.00000000 [2288] krita(2288)/koffice (lib komain) void __cdecl KoPluginLoader::load(const class QString &,const class QString &,const struct KoPluginLoader::PluginsConfig &,class QObject *): Loading plugin "Animation Docker" failed, "Cannot load library C:/Program Files/Krita (x64)/lib/kde4/kritaanimationdocker.dll: The specified procedure could not be found."

Running the .zip version shows the same thing but without the kritaanimationdocker.dll error.

The animation docker dll shouldn't be in there at all... But it cannot be the reason for the crash, it just doesn't get loaded. If I understand you correctly, 2.9.11 did work for you previously? Because if that's the cause, we have to look for the problem somewhere else on your system.

No, I previously had 2.9.10.0 working. But all versions produce the same QToolButton::triggered error above and crash at the same point.

I've also had problems with my nvidia display driver. It also stopped working last week ( once only ). I tried to update it to the latest version, but I ran into problems with the NVIDIA installer ( a VBscript problem ).


cheers

And 2.9.10 now also crashes?

Yes.

I just downloaded the krita-master-f38b47e-x64 build, and it works without any problems.

I suspect the problem is, as you suggest, the system not Krita, and that re-installing windows would resolve the problems. And that I will have to do that sooner rather than later. Until then I will see if I can get along with the 3.x beta version, which seems to work.
