Where can I find logs to work out why Windows Simulator self-quits?












0















When I run Windows Simulator it spins the five blue dots on a black background for a while and then exits silently. However, if I create a new user then that user can launch Windows Simulator without any problems. Clearly there's something about my profile which causes problems, but I'm not sure how to work out what it is. I assume there must be some useful information somewhere.



What I've tried is looking in the Event Viewer. In Windows Logs/Application the only thing which I see is



<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
<System>
<Provider Name="Desktop Window Manager" />

<EventRecordID>17991</EventRecordID>
<Channel>Application</Channel>
<Computer>dev2</Computer>
<Security />
</System>
<EventData />
</Event>


In Windows Logs/Security there's a slew of Logons and Special Logons, followed by three User Account Management events and three Logoffs.
