Oh right, that would have probably helped. Oops.
OS: Windows 7GameMaker Studio 1.4
Also I'm on a laptop with an integrated graphics chip, which shouldn't affect anything but who knows.
The program just doesn't launch. I don't get a splash screen or anything. My computer does the whole 'thinking' cursor thing for maybe a second and then nothing happens. There isn't even a process or application to kill from the task manager.
Right now I'm trying to uninstall anything that I newly installed (mainly other game making engines because I wanted to tool around for a bit with a few to find the right fit).
