No Graphic interface Windows 10

[Braymanlw]

I have recently installed Jamulus . When I run it it runs but there is no graphic interface i.e. nothing on the screen and it does not show on the Task Bar but is running in Task Manager. Tried running it from a flash drive which works on a laptop but with same result. Running Windows 10

That's really odd. Have you had dual monitors setup in the past and perhaps you are using just one now?
I did not check, but have seen other application that remembered the location at the second monitor causing the GUI no to be visible with a single monitor.

Can you also confirm the version of Jamulus you are using?

Thanks for your prompt reply. Windows 10 auto detects multiple displays and there are none. Version 3.8.1 used to work on this machine but hasn't since I had a new c. drive installed. I have tried three different versions 3.6.2, 3.8.0 and 3.8.1. They all work on two other laptops but not on this desk top. This is the only application that doesn't work and I think the fact that it appears to be running in Task Manager but not displaying on the Task Bar has to be significant I just can't figure out why.

Perhaps this is caused by a vc runtime library issue. Usually you would see some errors, but maybe for some odd reason you don't.
You can download the required runtime here: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
You may need to remove the existing installed version first. See also this issue #1843

Here's a "deep clean" guide...

• Open Windows Explorer and enter %APPDATA% in the location bar.
• Does a Jamulus folder exist inside?
• What, if any, any content is in the Jamulus folder?
• If you go into Windows "Add or Remove programs", is Jamulus listed?
• If the Jamulus folder exists, copy it (whole lot) somewhere else and rename it something obvious.
• Then, if Jamulus is listed in "Add or Remove programs", uninstall it.
• Next, in Windows Explorer, go to %PROGRAMFILES% and make sure no Jamulus folder exists (delete it with Administrator override).
• Similarly, if you're running Windows 64bit, check %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% to make sure Jamulus doesn't exist there, either.
• Now run the Jamulus 3.8.1 Windows installer again -- make sure it is not the "JACK" one.
• Say "No" to running Jamulus at the end of the install.

My next question is what ASIO device driver are you using? Have you checked it's working correctly for other applications? Do that before you first run Jamulus to ensure that's not the problem.

Once you're happy with the ASIO driver, run Jamulus and see if it starts up now.

If it does start, exit Jamulus and go back to %APPDATA%, take another backup of the Jamulus folder and try restoring the earlier copy you took (if any).

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Tried your suggestion. Didn't work
I have two interfaces. A PreSonus AudioBox iTwo and a Yamaha AG 06 each with their own ASIO driver and these work fine as does the application on two different laptops. Interestingly enough if you try to boot up Jamulus with the interface disconnected you normally get an error message. Tried this with my desktop and still nothing.
Cheers,
Louis.

Didn't work

Given I asked quite a lot of questions, that's not a very helpful response.

Hi Henke,Thanks again.  Unfortunatly tried your suggestion but didn't work.Thanks again.Cheers,Louis

• Then, if Jamulus is listed in "Add or Remove programs", uninstall it.
• (see (1) below: For a default new installation; having backed up the aforementioned Jamulus folder delete it.)
• Next, in Windows Explorer, go to %PROGRAMFILES% and make sure no Jamulus folder exists (delete it with Administrator override).
• Similarly, if you're running Windows 64bit, check %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% to make sure Jamulus doesn't exist there, either.
• Now run the Jamulus 3.8.1 Windows installer again -- make sure it is not the "JACK" one.
• Say "No" to running Jamulus at the end of the install.

(1) Old jamulus.ini and jamulusserver.ini files remaining in the %APPDATA% Jamulus folder will affect a new installation.

 Hi Peter, Given that my original query (see immediately below) covered most of your original questions I failed to notice your first three questions.  For that, I apologise. I have recently installed Jamulus . When I run it it runs but there is no graphic interface i.e. nothing on the screen and it does not show on the Task Bar but is running in Task Manager. Tried running it from a flash drive which works on a laptop but with same result. Running Windows 10 Here's a "deep clean" guide... * Open Windows Explorer and enter %APPDATA% in the location bar. * * Does a Jamulus folder exist inside?  HOW ELSE WOULD IT RUN? * * What, if any, any content is in the Jamulus folder?  THERE ARE 6 FOLDERS AND 14 FILES IN THIS FOLDER. * * If you go into Windows "Add or Remove programs", is Jamulus listed?  YES. * If the Jamulus folder exists, _copy_ it (whole lot) somewhere else and rename it something obvious. * Then, if Jamulus is listed in "Add or Remove programs", uninstall it. * Next, in Windows Explorer, go to %PROGRAMFILES% and make sure no Jamulus folder exists (delete it with Administrator override). * Similarly, if you're running Windows 64bit, check %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% to make sure Jamulus doesn't exist there, either.  The Jamulus installer defaults to Program FILE. BUT I HAVE TRIED BOTH. * Now run the Jamulus 3.8.1 Windows installer again -- make sure it is _not_ the "JACK" one. * Say "No" to running Jamulus at the end of the install. My next question is what ASIO device driver are you using? Have you checked it's working correctly for other applications? Do that _before_ you first run Jamulus to ensure that's not the problem.  I HAVE TWO DRIVERS FOR TWO AUDIO INTERFACES ALL WORK PERFECTLY ON TWO OTHER LAPTOPS BUT NOT WITH THE DESKTOP.  I THREE VERSIONS OF JAMULUS ALL AF WHICH WORK PERFECTLY ON THE LAPTOPS AND NONE OF WHICH WORK ON THE DESKTOP.  ALL THREE USED TO WORK ON THE DESKTOP BUT NOW IT DOESN'T. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT THE FAULT LIES IN THE GRAPHICS SET UP IN WINDOWS 10 ON THE DESKTOP POSSIBLY IN THE REGISTRY BUT IT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE AS TO FIGURE OUT WHY. Once you're happy with the ASIO driver, run Jamulus and see if it starts up now.  NO IT DOESN'T. If it does start, exit Jamulus and go back to %APPDATA%, take another backup of the Jamulus folder and try restoring the earlier copy you took (if any).

Does a Jamulus folder exist inside? HOW ELSE WOULD IT RUN?

Jamulus will happily start without it. (This is %APPDATA%, which is not where the program lives.)

What, if any, any content is in the Jamulus folder? THERE ARE 6
FOLDERS AND 14 FILES IN THIS FOLDER.

This sounds very odd.

No folders in my %APPDATA%\Jamulus. If those are there on a "clean install", there's something else happening other than a "clean install".

You'll notice in my folder a lot of "Something.ini" files -- by default, there should be only two at most. None of the other files (the .bat and *Settings files) would be there.

Can you confirm what was there immediately after the clean install?
