What version do you use? (the last is 1.53).
1)Do you running paintstorm with administrative privileges?
2)Is the "C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Paintstorm Studio" folder exists?

Suddenly for unknown reason, my 1.55 and 1.6 (just installed)
both hanged in start up screen, need to stop/kill task.
>2)Is the "C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Paintstorm Studio" folder exists?
I found by renaming version.ini to a different filename,
Paintstorm Studio is now back to normal.
Paintstorm Studio can start normally.
Tried starting Paintstorm Studio a few times, version.ini had not been recreated.
I am not sure what cause the problem, and why rename version.ini could solve this problem.
My windows version : 8.1 pro x64
firepro 4900

Sorry my BAD
there is NOTHING related to version.ini
it was caused by
Start from a PaintStorm Studio shortcut on desktop (bad shortcut?)
I start PaintStorm Studio from start menu, and it works at once
I tried renamed and recover original version.ini ,
Paintstorm Studio starts normally,
there is NOTHING related to version.ini
Please remove this and my previous wrong message.
thank you

If it repeats, just terminate process and run Paintstorm again.
