[Paraview] [Help!] Paraview GUI does not start (closes automatically)

[Joe]

Thanks for the response, David.

What you suggested did change the symptom a bit. After I remove the ini file, I was able to see the Paraview logo appear after I execute it, which I did not see prior to the removal. 

However, the window still doesn't show up. Is there anything else I can do? 

Joe

Try removing your paraview settings.
On windows this should be at:%APPDATA%\ParaView\ParaView4.2.0.ini

Elsewhere it is at:
~/.config/Paraview/ParaView4.2.0.ini

I don't know exactly when this problem begin because I don't use Paraview everyday but now when I double click on Paraview.exe, no window pops up anymore. Using process monitor, I could see that Paraview.exe does a few things on my computer but I couldn't figure out what went wrong.
