So I downloaded 4.7.x (what was available last week) and installed it on my Win7 machine. Install went fine. Setup went fine. Tried to load in a model file and once I clicked the open folder in the upper left Cura crashed out. I didn't have time to mess with it so I kept using the Creality slicer for my CR-10. Well I have some time this week. I saw a similar post about Cura not working on a win7 machine so I tried running it in compatibility mode. All of them. Same result. So I went on the website to see if I could go back a version or two and saw you released 4.8. Figured I'd give it a try to see. Same exact result.
Cura opens up just fine. I can explore the menus like normal. I did notice that when I tried to import a filament type I got the same error which leads me to believe it is something in the way Cura is trying to access explorer or when it goes to open the file system. I always get:
Cura.exe has stopped working.
then windows closes it.
I'd like to give the program a try, but even trying all compatibility modes (even Vista...yuck I can't believe I just typed that) I get the same result.
Thanks in advance!
