gdstorrick Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I just purchased Affinity Photo and downloaded the installer on my other computer. Now the computer will not startup. I'm using latest Windows v.7. I assume this is not normal and not desirable. At the moment, I am not extremely pleased, but I still have hope that something can be resolved.

Staff Callum Posted June 10, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi GDstorrick, Welcome to the forums, I am sorry to hear that your computer will no longer start after installing Affinity. However I'm afraid to say this is just a coincidence there is nothing Affinity could do to cause this can assure you of that. I recommend possibly taking your computer to a local repair shop. Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Try booting up in Safe mode If that works you can roll back to a previous restore point or uninstall Affinity to see if it then boots as normal Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

gdstorrick Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I took it to my local repair shop and had it repaired. It wasn't coincidence but it wasn't fully Affinity's fault either; it had more to do with installer permissions that would have affected most any software installation. Why it happened does not matter, what matters is that we were able to get everything sorted out. Affinity is now installed and is working well.
