Handbrake 1.2.2 tries to launch - "handbrake has stopped working"

[mich]

Handbrake 1.2.2 tries to launch but never opens.

I have tried to download and install the program seven times, every time, but the most recent I have received a message stating handbrake stopped working. This time, I don't get that message, but the program keeps trying to launch and it shows a white screen.

I cannot upload an activity log, because the program will not open.




Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.2.2


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

WIndows 7 professional

HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR -  provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.

I cannot provide an activity log, as the program will not launch

If the program is crashing, there should be evidence logged in the Windows Event Viewer.
