Comment 9 for bug 830308

Thanks for that tid bit.

I tried the work around suggested by suv and it worked.
I did a bit of googling and found the following information
which I think you may want to read as well.

Here is a copy of what I sent to suv.

It is related.

Changed:

    <group

       id="displayprofile"

       enable="0"

       from_display="0"

       intent="0"

       uri="" />

To:

    <group

       id="displayprofile"

       enable="0"

       from_display="1"

       intent="0"

       uri="" />

Sorry to tell you but this is a bug in windows 7.

The thread has some code you can review to fix the problem

in XP and Vista using szDevice member..

Unfortunately a post that is further down the page describes a

bug that appears to be in Windows 7.

I suggest you read the whole page, it will unfortunately be

a bit discouraging.

- the file extension-errors.log can be ignored for the moment. It is not
actually a list of errors, it is just a list of possible external
packages which are not installed on your machine, none of which are
essential.

- the message : (inkscape.exe:5708: GLib-Critical **: g_convert: assertion 'str != NULL' failed
can also be ignored, I think, I've seen that a lot when running from DOS, I think it is harmless.

- am curious about the message : ** (inkscape.exe:5708): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document*
 sp_repr_read_file(constr gchar*, const gchar*): assertion
 'Inkscape::IO::file_test( filename, G_File_TEST_EXISTS )' failed

did this happen when you first loaded Inkscape or did it happen when you
clicked on the menu item for Preferences?

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.
