Hugin 2012.0.0 freezes on startup on Win7 64

[Jim Jones]

Hi,

just downloaded the 64bit windows version of Hugin:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2012.0/Hugin_2012.0.0_64bit_Windows.7z/download

I unpacked it and double clicked on hugin.exe.

After a warning pop-up that it found some old settings somewhere (I am not aware of anything like this) the splash screen comes up.

A couple of seconds later my whole system freezes like a window 95 box. Not even the mouse pointer can be moved any more. The splash window is still visible at that point in time. Haven't had that in a while.

Need a hardware cold reset to restart the system, so not very funny.

I had the exact same result with the 32bit version which I first installed.

OS is windows 7 64bit Ultimate.

I have had a very similar occurrence with the 64 bit version of Hugin under Windows 7 Professional. I'm using Hugin Version 2012.0.0 a6e4184ad538 built by Matthew Petroff.

In my case, Hugin has run successfully for several months, occasionally crashing and requiring a system reboot to run again. Now, however, the program will not start at all, displaying a Windows error message that hugin.exe has stopped working every time I try to run it.

Help me if you can....

Please try if this is fixed in the 2013.0 version

I just downloaded HuginSetup_2013.0.0-beta1_64bit_Windows.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2013.0/HuginSetup_2013.0.0-beta1_64bit_Windows.exe/download

It does freeze my system completely for something like 15 Seconds on startup but will run ok after this it seems.

Please test 2014.0 rc1 if this is fixed.
