Install goes off without a hitch, but when I start the application I am treated to a blank black foldit window which is almost immediately indicates "Not Responding" and the application never starts…Has anyone seen this?
Help!

64 bit and multi-core are different things.
I am running a 64 bit Intel Core 2 i7 PC with Windows 7 and an NVidia GeForce GTX 295. The fold it window goes blank after start up and stops responding.
I have just updated the video drivers, and moved the installation directory to a folder for which I have administrator privileges. The problem with fold it not responding has not gone away. Thoughts, anyone?
up to 2-3 mins.
Sometimes it have to wait for server…
This isn't a network connection issue.
I let it sit for 2 hours, ant it still hasn't responded
The log file has the following error text:
Can't open options file options.txt. (......\mini\src\interactive\application\Application.cc:77)
The program has been running for several days now and I still have a non-responsive window. I am not convinced that this is a network issue.
I have tried many things that other people have posted on this forum. I have tried installing in the default location (Program Files(x86)) and in another directory (Games\Foldit) with the same result. I have tried running both the installer and the executable with administrator privileges. I have ensured that all my drivers are up to date. I have tried uninstalling and downloading a new copy of the installer. Still no joy.
I have successfully run Foldit on this same machine in an Ubuntu 10.10 VM, so I suspect that there may be a dependency issue on my Windows box. Does Foldit require specific versions of MSys, Mingw32, Lua, etc? Is there some way to get more information about what is going on during start-up?
If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be glad to track down this problem and report back to the community.
