IDEA 7 can't start

Hello silenvoice,

What are your desktop antialiasing settings (none, regular or ClearType)?

Hi, everyone! I downloaded the Idea 7.0.1 and installed it, but it
can't start and it
stops at splash screen.
My idea.log is here,

Does anyone meet the same error before? I uninstalled and reinstalled
it several times and still got the same problem. I hope someone can
help me, thanks!

Hello Jemerov, thanks for your reply, my desktop antialiasing settings is ClearType, because my computer is laptop and the LCD's resolution is 1400*1050.

Hello silenvoice,

Hello Jemerov, thanks for your reply, my desktop antialiasing settings
is ClearType, because my computer is laptop and the LCD's resolution
is 1400*1050.

Please run the Microsoft ClearType tuning tool to restore correct ClearType
settings in the registry. You can find more information here:

Hello Jemerov, I find it's very strange. After I reply your post, I change my antialiasing settings to regular and then reinstall IDEA7. It can start this time!
But I could hardly see the other texts on my desktop because of the antialiasing settings.

Hello Jemerov, I'm reading the link.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks!
