Processing sketches suddenly not running
So I can't really tell you anything, yesterday I programmed and used processing normally. Today I open my sketches and none of them work, not even empty ones. I don't think anything changed on my computer... I don't understand
This is the error that I get:
Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize).
For more information, read revisions.txt and Help ? Troubleshooting.
The only thing that happened was an nvidia graphics card driver update, so could it be that?

Yeah, that was the problem, downgraded the driver and now processing works again lol
Glad you found a solution, @ricsinaruto, thanks for sharing it.
What was the specific Nvidia graphics driver you upgraded to / downgraded back to? If multiple people are having this problem it might be worth noting the details and potential reporting it as an issue.

Same here. Will not run and all the fonts are corrupt after Nvidia driver update. Both x86 and x64 versions of processing.
I reported it in github page.
Windows 10 x64 GTX 1050t GeForce Driver 378.49 released 01/23/2017
The driver released on january 24th (378.49) caused the problem, and I had to downgrade to the previous driver, released on december 14th (376.33)
That font problem has a solution, something to do with two fonts with similar names. There are two threads on the forum about it but i can't remember the odd phrase that was used to describe it... i will search some more, and make it a FAQ.
ah, ok

tl;dr:
"Deleting Source Sans Pro [font] seems to solve it. Reinstalled Source Sans Pro just to see what happens and the issue reappeared."
Thanks Koogs
Thanks, guys. I was having the same problem and downgrading my Nvidia driver fixed it. Muchos gracias.
