Re: Sweet Home 3D 5.3
Sorry, ran into trouble under Win 8.1.

Downloaded beta 11 under Win 8.1 (the Asus tablet) - SweetHome3D-5.3.beta11-windows.exe apparently installs well with all the normal setup stuff. However, SH3D does not start - just stops at the splash screen.

Background process Java(TM) Platform SE binary processor usage dies down and hangs with 20+ MB of memory usage.

I also seem to get an extra Internet Explorer background process, and the Windows Explorer process seems to restart. And all Wi-Fi connections are killed.

No Java console appears, only splash screen and the background process.

Updated Java, same thing. Tried a second download of SweetHome3D-5.3.beta11-windows.exe and installed again. Same thing. Restarted, same thing.

Just a hanging Java(TM) Platform SE binary background process and splash screen.

It may be something on the hardware/software side here, but there have been no other recent changes to the PC.
