[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7 Does not load after installation

[Frank Sokolic]

Hi Nome,

Have you tried installing QGIS with administrator rights? Right-click on 
the installation file and select 'run as administrator'. Install the 
program that way and see if it solves your problem.

Another thing you can try: I once had a problem where QGIS wouldn't load 
and eventually tracked the problem down to the program nircmd.exe which 
is used to run the batch file that launches QGIS. The antivirus software 
on the computer in question was flagging nircmd as a virus and 
preventing it from running. Maybe this is the cause of your problem? Try 
double-clicking the qgis.bat file in the qgis folder to see if you can 
run it that way.

Frank.
