EMERGENCY: DAZ Won't Load

kmw

Yesterday, DAZ Premier crashed. I try to open and ... nothing. If I Alt/Tab, I get the attached image.

I reinstalled with DIM. Same results.

Anybody know what the heck's going on?

Can you select the small Daz Studio icon?

kmw

Where? I've used the icon on my toolbar, the app icon in Settings, and the Open Studio in DAZCentral. Same results.

And thanks for helping.

In your screenshot the one to the right says Daz Studio 4.23, so I asumed that it just must have been very minimized.

If you start DS, is it then active in Task Manager?

kmw

Yes.

Oh, let me add something I just discovered:

I've been using Task Manager to close the small DAZ window. Twice I clicked several times on the "X" in the window and was asked if I wanted to save the open window in DAZ (which I couldn't see). I say "Yes" or "No" and it goes through the motions without me ever seeing the DAZ screen and closes DAZ.

Weird.

I aasume you have an DS icon in the task bar.

What happens if you click the icon and then press F11?

kmw

Same difference.

This is baffling the crap outta me!

Could it be the same problem as in this thread maybe? https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/8965991/#Comment_8965991

You could try downloading http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/specific_ui/screen_size_fhd/start and then double-click it to have DS launch and run the script - that should give you a window you can interact with to set it the way you want.

That thread did indeed provide a solution. I don't know if it'll be permanent but I'm glad I can get back to rendering.

Thank you all and thank you, Leana!
