LW Not Responding on first startup. 1 year, 2 months ago #20244

love2photou OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 3	Had trouble getting LW open for the first time. Reinstalled a couple of times and would continue to get LW Not Responding. Watchdog would try to restart to no avail. Uninstalled Matrox VFW Codecs and this time LW opened. Question, do I need to reinstall Matrox after the next restart? I will be working with an HD Camcorder. Can't wait to get started with LW. Thanks all.

Hence why I asked about reading the manual. This is there, on the installing guide as well, which is a very short text actually.

khaver NOW ONLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1613	I would say 99% of those who download LW install it before reading the manual. It's just human nature these days, i.e. the desire for instant gratification. I used to build model cars and planes when I was a kid and wouldn't use the instruction sheet that came with it. I always had pieces left over.

love2photou OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 3	As I said it's working. Back to the original question. Do I need Matrox?

Try importing and exporting some small clips and see what happens. Without the Matrox codecs you will be limited to quicktime and the Lightworks avi codec for export and transcoding.

Outworld OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 36	Made a fresh Windows 7 install and after installing LW had the same problem. Read this post unistal the Matrox codecs launch LW, works. Restart mi laptop, reinstall the matrox pack, launch LW, works. Also it´s all about restart the PC before installing the Matrox..

Cohiba02 OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 1	Had the same problem with XP. I have added xmlLite.dll in the system32 folder and Lightworks has started successfully. Check if xmlLite is installed.

I had the same problem of watchdog killing LW. I uninstalled Matrox codec and LW started correctly. I created a dummy project and exited. I installed again Matrox codec, and then watchdog killed LW.

Then I started LW and canceled the watchdog popup before it killed LW, I waited about 20 second and it finally started. Now I can restart LW without issue.

I simply think you should allocate more time to LW for initial start-up.
