    Hello again Gordon,
    After about 3 hours browsing, I discovered that Chrome has a problem on W7 64-bit with USB 3.0 devices (or more specifically, the drivers)! This affects the Espruino native IDE.

    I found this out because Chrome crashed when I tried to open the settings page. This seems to be a reasonably well documented issue. However, it is a driver issue and not a Chrome issue, according to Chrome. Can't imagine why this affects the native IDE though....

    I unplugged my USB 3.0 devices (USB 2 is fine) and the everything worked OK.
    Apparently, this doesn't mean that you have to do without USB 3.0; there are updated drivers available somewhere, I haven't got that far yet.

    At least now I should be able to use my new devices :-)

    Hope this helps with anyone else out there who is still running on W7. I have a lot of stuff on W7 and as a result I am nervous to move to W10 - but I imagine I will have to bite the bullet sometime if the hassles continue.

    Hello Gordon - 64 bit W7.
    It does look suspiciously like the application is being terminated...but as I mentioned, I have checked my anti-virus. Downloaded the latest version, and have an icon in my start menu. It all looks pretty normal.
    I have run zadiq.

    Hello, I am having problems getting the native Espruino IDE to load on my Windows 7 machine.
    After clicking on the icon in the start menu, the application produces a white rectangle on my monitor (application splash screen). This then disappears and nothing else happens.
    I have looked at my antivirus and checked that it is not blocking the native IDE, and it appears OK (even turned off AVG protection entirely - still no joy).
    Does anyone have any idea as to what might be happening?
    Regards,
    Jimgi
