motherboard ASRock H81
gpu shappire 7970

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.
