I'm having issues with Lego Digital Designer.
I have a relatively new HP computer (less than 2 years old) running the latest up-to-date version of Windows 7 (64 bit). About a year ago I was using a 4.x version of LDD just fine. I could open, build, connect to the internet, etc. No problem. I haven't used it since and tried launching it today. A blank application window would appear with a splash screen image in the middle and then...nothing. It just hangs there.
So, I thought maybe I need to update LDD. I ran the uninstaller, got the more recent version, installed that and...same thing.
Googling the issue I see lots of posts going back a few years with all sorts of random problems (mostly about Vista). I tried many of the 'fixes' (running as admin, changing compatibility mode, etc.) but nothing seems to resolve the issue.
Anyone else having this issues and know of a fix? I'm guessing something Windows updated over the past year has broken whatever LDD needs to run.
DA.

The relevant support page on the LEGO site is as unhelpful as it gets... "Windows Vista and 7 is (sic) supported!". Now, that may sound naive, but did you reinstall it from scratch form a fresh download?
