No root or module windows under Windows 7

I just tried running vvvv 40beta23 in Windows 7 Ultimate. I had to install DirectX 9.0c to get it to run at all. It runs, but I get a very odd behavior.

If I just run vvvv directly, no root window appears, but it’s icon is down on the task bar.

If I run vvvv by double-clicking on a patch, any renderer windows will pop up, and the patch will run fine, but no module windows appear.

Any ideas? Thanksabunch!

Hello,

did you run vvvv once as Administrator?
Your problem is an known issue. See:
http://vvvv.org/documentation/troubleshooting#vvvv-shows-up-in-the-task-bar-there-may-be-a-directx-renderer-but-there-is-no-patch-window

Well I’ll be darned. I was administrator (the only user on the system), but the right-click and “Run as administrator” fixed it.

I had searched about this for a while before posting, don’t know why that bit of info didn’t crop up in the results.

Thanks a ton!
