When you run it from command prompt, do you see any output printed?

Do you have an antivirus software running? If yes, can you please try to disable it and then try again?

I notice 'Wow64Host', does that mean you're running the 32 bit version?
No, I´n usisng 64

1. extract zip to an appropriate location;
2. open cmd prompt
3. set OPENMSX_HOME=FULL_PATH_TO_CUSTOM_USER_DIR (e.g. _user subdir where you extracted zip)
4. run openmsx.exe or catapult.exe from this cmd prompt
Done, but the same problen, I can use Catapult only one time

And: Restarting your PC? Isn't is sufficient to kill openmsx.exe and/or catapult.exe using the task manager?
yes, I can kill OpenMSX and Catapult in the task manager, but even killing everything, OpenMSX does not work again, only if I restart the PC

well, today I just woke up, turned the computer on (windows 10), double click on catapult and...nothing.
Same situation as Murilo. If I try to open just openmsx takes 3 to 5 minutes to open it, when it actually opens after that.
Tried what ren said to do with 17.0-RC1 non msi, same thing.
completely out of nowhere.
last time I've used it I had turbo R GT selected as machine with ide ext, disk file image selected and a dsk in diskette 1. that's it.

Murilo: you mean you use the standard Windows Defender antivirus?
I have no clue what's going on really. Anyone?

gustavobk: if you didn't do anything and openMSX/Catapult stops working... what can we do about it? I can't explain what you're seeing. Fully removing and reinstalling openMSX (try the latest development build, please) is all I can recommend.

Not asking for a solution here, I understand it's an odd issue, just informing he's not the only one now.
I'll keep trying a few things like reinstall or checking configuration files.

1 more info: I tried brute force - I formatted my PC from ZERO, and the result is .......
NOTHING, the same thing
And now there's nothing to disturb, I just installed Win drives and updates

I don't know what to say Murilo. Did you try older versions, like 0.15, 0.14 or even older?

0.16 yes, i´m going to try 0.15 now

I noticed something, I left the catapult bugged about 10 min, after that time it opened, but it is extremely slow, impossible to use.

Hmmm.... I have no idea why that happens. Just starting Catapult doesn't do anything....
