Summary0011438: Paraview freezes on splash screen
DescriptionWhen loading Paraview 3.8.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, the program freezes on the splash screen. I have to kill it with Task Manager. This wasn't an issue as of yesterday evening. No changes have been made in the setup of the machine; I just came in and booted this morning and Paraview is not working. I have been trying to enable the output window from the command line but I can't find the options; when i run 'paraview.exe --help' the options disappear instantly. If I put in garbage parameters to force paraview to bring up the output window with the help options ('paraview.exe --foo') it shows, but then freezes behind the splash screen and I can't scroll or read anything.

Try running paraview with "-dr" command line option, maybe your configuration files got corrupted or something.

Didn't work, unfortunately; running 'paraview -dr' froze up like before. Is there a log file written out that I can check somewhere?

Nope, there isn't any log file written. Can you try running any other OpenGL based application? The mailing list maybe a better venue to debug this issue.

Good call, a random OpenGL demo I found at http://magnum.dimajix.de/download/demos.shtml [^] exhibited the same symptoms. I am proceeding now with the assumption that this is an OpenGL on Windows 7 issue. Thanks for your insight :)

Just a note for anyone who might have this issue on an Nvidia system, I did the following to resolve:
1) Open Nvidia Control Panel. Go to "Manage 3D Settings".
2) Select the setting "OpenGL Rendering GPU". Change it from "Auto-select" to the GPU you're currently using. Then change it back to "Auto-select".
3) Hit apply. Run your OpenGL app.

for some reason this fixed the issue I as having.
