I am trying to get Monero GUI working, but it quits within a few seconds of launching, without displaying a dialog. The Windows error message is:

monero-wallet-gui.exe has stopped working

Here is my data:

--- Windows 7 Pro
--- Monero downloaded as; monero-gui-win-x64-v0.11.0.0.zip
--- I tried putting the path to the Monero directory in the Windows system PATH environment variable
--- I tried launching the GUI with a CMD file that specifies the complete path to the executable
--- there are no blank spaces in the path to the executable
--- the daemon, monerod.exe seems to run without a hitch
--- the CLI executable seems to run without a hitch and I was able to create a new wallet
--- in the file, monero-wallet-gui.log, I have the following error messages:

2017-10-03 15:45:10.500 2828 INFO logging contrib/epee/src/mlog.cpp:148 New log categories: *:WARNING,net:FATAL,net.p2p:FATAL,net.cn:FATAL,global:INFO,verify:FATAL,stacktrace:INFO,logging:INFO,msgwriter:INFO

2017-10-03 15:45:23.217 2828 INFO logging contrib/epee/src/mlog.cpp:156 New log categories: *:WARNING,net:FATAL,net.p2p:FATAL,net.cn:FATAL,global:INFO,verify:FATAL,stacktrace:INFO,logging:INFO,msgwriter:INFO

I would REALLY like to get the GUI up and running.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, rp108

monero-wallet-gui uses Qt, which uses OpenGL by default, and this does not play well with some machines. For this reason, monero-wallet-gui includes a script called start-low-graphics-mode.bat to run in fallback mode, which should be compatible with more machines, but at the cost of (I believe) some graphical glitches.

Installing directx 9.0c runtime could solve this without low graphics mode. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True
