Comment 3 for bug 830308

Inkscape version 0.48.1

This issue is recreated every time I run inkscape and
open the inkscape preferences.

This issue occurs whether inkscape is installed via
the installer, uncompressed via zip, or run as a
portable apps on a USB drive.

How does one run it from a command prompt?

on Windows 7, 32 bit, the Inkscape preferences are stored in the file :
\users\username\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\preferences.xml

- could you try running Inkscape again, to see if the problem reoccurs
consistently?

- could you try running Inkscape from a DOS prompt to see if there are any exit messages?
  (you may get the message : RegistryTool: Could not set the value 'C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe', but this can be ignored)

- which version of Inkscape?

Title:
  Windows7 Pro x64 Crash on file/inkscape preferences

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  New

Bug description:
  When attempting to open inkscape preferences, inkscape crashes and
  shuts down.

  If the preferences are set in the registry, you need to make sure that
  you are using the proper method to access the 64 bit registry of
  windows 7. You can find information regarding this on msdn and
  codeproject.com

  Make sure when you implement GPU in .49 that it can be disabled. My
  GPU can be used this way, but it has a tendency to prevent screen
  refreshing if done wrong. Found this out courtesy of Firefox 5.
