Daz 4.8 pc won't open

I click on the daz icon and it loads seemingly as normal but then the scene builder window shows up - the rest of the interface won't open. I can close the scene builder window and interact with that window but the main interface won't open, even though it says there's a window open. Help me, please? I'm on windows 7.

How did you install DS4.8, was it using DIM (DAZ Install Manager)?
If so, the simplest thing may be to uninstall/reinstall again. It only takes a few moment ins DIM to do that. I use Win 7, and the only time I had a problem, was when DAZ Studio was open (un-noticed) when I updated.
I've now uninstalled and reinstalled with DIM, the problem persists. :(
Other programs running? Especially security software?
There is microsoft security essentials running, but that's never stopped it before. I was happily using DAZ, then I tried to load a previous project and since then it's been broken.
Look in the log file...
Users/you/ApplicationData/Daz 3D/Studio 4
Users/you/AppData/something similar/to above...
Post any part that shows a clear error message.
I have no idea what I'm looking for in the log file I've found. I found a lot of things saying NOT INITIALIZED
Ok...the last few lines before the Not Initialized and first 3 or 4 of those lines.

The rest is a lot like that.
No OpenGL and Iray is not finding anything usable, either...
What video card?
No idea :D But 4.8 used to work!
