Hi,
I been used Openmsx for many years and everytime works very well, i´ve formated my laptop Dell Vostro from Windows 10 20H2 64 bits for a new 21H1 64bits, clean install. After all drives installed i beggining to tests from all emulators, all worked fine, only the Openmsx 17.0 no worked, the Catapult open the menu perfectily, all machines and extensions all searched and all be fine. I select one MSX type and one ROM, the window open and close one second later. I made test with all version from 15.0 to 17.0 32bits and 64bits all have the same bug. You have a soluction for this error? I love the Openmsx is the best MSX emulator...

Can you try starting openmsx from a command prompt? Does it then output an error message?

What language/locale is your Windows in, Portuguese/Brazil perhaps?

Yes, please try to run openMSX from the command prompt and see what it displays.

Perhaps there is something with your OpenGL 2.1 support/driver?

I ram openmsx.exe

In "normal" command prompt "cmd" with adminstrator privileges, the behaviour is the same...
In Powershell with administrator privileges, had this message.

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (openmsx.exe:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

No messages when run from cmd? What if you run openmsx -v? Does it give you output?

Can you try to edit your settings.xml file in your user folder (in "Documents/openMSX/share" I believe) and add in the settings section:

    <setting id="renderer">SDL</setting>

Why does OpenMSX 17 need administrator privileges?
