Gideros Player won't start since Windows 10 upgrade?

PaulH

I have a laptop I upgraded from Win 7 to 10 and Gideros works fine, including the player. I did the same update on my desktop machine and the player won't start. I've tried reinstalling Gideros (v2015.09) running as administrator, allowing both the player and studio through the Windows firewall, launching via the studio and directly, cleaning out the registry entries for the player before reinstalling, all to no avail. There's no error message, the player window simply never appears, and nothing shows up in the task manager.

This issue posted on Github describes a problem starting the player after positioning it to a second monitor:

Any ideas?

Do you have 2 monitors?

I have the same problem, discussed it with John - the player crashes the next time it's run if it's positioned on the second monitor.

To fix go to the folder that Gideros stores it's settings (in appdata somewhere) - then delete the settings for the player.

That did it! Removing the player.ini file from AppData\Roaming\GiderosMobile solved it. Thanks!

Sorry. I've just seen this. I posted the same issue on the forum.

Yes, I've deleted the other thread.
