ok thing get worse and worse I try to run pharo as administrator and pharo opens and exits immediately , it creates a stderr which contains the following
http://pastebin.com/v9Hpx9pK I found the folder you mentioned and I deleted it , now pharo does not open at all even when run without "run as administrator" Boy I hate Windoom. I also tried Tim link , nothing, pharo opens but does nothing, no gui, nothing. I know it opens because i can see its process in the task manager which i have to terminate manually. I do all my coding and art on macos, I only have windows at work so i can test my code on windoom too, but this was the last straw, I had enough with this uber crappy OS for 17 years now. I am dropping support for it and sticking to MacOS only. Thanks guys for your help but it does not worth it. I hope no other windows user experience my problem.
