Processing Launches but Immediately Shuts Down

in General Discussion • Other • 2 years ago

I'm new to Processing, but have been using it successfully for a few days. All of a sudden, when I launch the application, it starts up (I can see the splash screen and I see it in the Task Manager), but then it shuts down within about 2 seconds. Anyone know what is happening?

Have you added libraries, tools, or something similar?

No. Just a straight download of the application (including the Java parts). It was working just fine, but then all of a sudden I began encountering this problem. I restarted the computer, but the problem persists.

Some ideas:

Check the firewall settings, perhaps it's not allowing something
See the program's main directory for an error log.
Try (re)moving the file "C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Processing\preferences.txt" (or where it is on your system) and see what happens.
Re-download.

I got it figured out. I just used the old sledge hammer method (uninstalled the program, then redownloaded and installed). Looks like it works now.

Thanks for everybody's help!
