Livecode startup messages...

There was a problem in the past where standalones were LC IDE, LC Instaler and standalones were crashing on startup.

This is what Panos wrote about it:
We recently fixed a bug (affecting mainly Windows 11) where the LC
installer, the LC IDE and Windows standalones were crashing on startup. It
turned out this was caused if some generic printer drivers were installed
in the device, and installing the official printer drivers from the
vendor's website prevented the crash. We had reports for Brother printers,
Epson and HP if I remember correctly.

The fix we added did fix the crash, but in some cases caused a delay on
startup, if the device still had the "generic" printer driver installed.

Maybe there is a regression in some way that LC now does not crash but shows the messages.

Could you try the following?

1. Open Windows Task Manager
2. Search for a process named "Spooler Subsystem app" or just "Print
Spooler"
3. Force quit this process

If this solves it, then it seems to be a regression in the new LC dp builds.

Regards,

Matthias

Maybe under another search term, but the general term of "printer" returns 38 screens of forum messages! Good suggestion though. Thank you.
