Question / Help failed to initialize video: unspecified error

[N74TG]

Hello All - (experienced with pre Studio software versions) Just installed 16.6 Studio (with both vcredist and directx). Install looked to complete normally, but upon launch get error message in title above.

Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit), Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.

Where should I start looking to solve problem

thanks

P.S. since program doesn't start, can't create a log file to attach

Go to C:\Users\C-Dude\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio (replace C-Dude with your user)

There should be a file in the crashes folder.

Upload that.


Possible Fixes:
-You can try deleting the basic folder but that would remove your profiles and scenes (so you might want to back them up before deleting)
-Try reinstalling

Thanks for your reply.

Under \Roaming\ there is no folder for OBS, so can't upload logfile. Only folder under Roaming is Intel

Uninstalled, downloaded studio again, re-installed, same exact problem.

Is there anywhere I can download the old (non-studio) software, that is still working on my other computer.

thanks

I'm sure there is a way to fix it but yes you can download the classic version

go to the download page and scroll down it is just underneath studio

You can't run obs on that system.
