Sorry, ran into trouble under Win 8.1.

Downloaded beta 11 under Win 8.1 (the Asus tablet) - [font=courier new]SweetHome3D-5.3.beta11-windows.exe[/font] apparently installs well with all the normal setup stuff. However, SH3D does not start - just stops at the splash screen.

Background process [font=courier new]Java(TM) Platform SE binary[/font] processor usage dies down and hangs with 20+ MB of memory usage.

I also seem to get an extra [font=courier new]Internet Explorer[/font] background process, and the [font=courier new]Windows Explorer process[/font] seems to restart. And all Wi-Fi connections are killed.

No Java console appears, only splash screen and the background process.

Updated Java, same thing. Tried a second download of [font=courier new]SweetHome3D-5.3.beta11-windows.exe[/font] and installed again. Same thing. Restarted, same thing.

Just a hanging [font=courier new]Java(TM) Platform SE binary[/font] background process and splash screen.

It may be something on the hardware/software side here, but there have been no other recent changes to the PC.

ok
