[Qgis-user] Fwd: QGIS crash on loading projects

Hi Nathan,
I've done this with a test project and as soon as open a map composer QGIS
crashes.
Open QGIS into new blank project
Open print composer, select create new print composer window, press the OK
button
Crash

Open QGIS into new blank project
adjust projection etc, add layers to project
Open print composer, select create new print composer window, press the OK
button
Crash

Open older QGIS project with previously created map windows / compositions.
layers start to load
Crash.

Seems like my problem is the print composer and is unrelated to any of the
projects I have saved. I am able to open them on another PC.

I've tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of QGIS and all of the
OSGEO4W64 components, deleting my .qgis user directory. (this took some
figuring out as the uninstall isn't a transparent process)

Standalone install of QGIS 2.6.1 from website download.

Standalone install of QGIS 2.4 from website download.

In none of the above cases am I able to get the print composer to start. I
really don't want to have to reinstall windows.

Thanks
Matt
