I am using Windows 7 and I have downloaded the Inkscape graphic program several times and I can’t get it to work. When I try to open it, this is what pops up. \*Inkscape.exe – application error X the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)\* Can anyone tell me what my problem is? ---

There is mention of your error on the [Inkscape answers forum](https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/141958); unfortunately, it looks like an unfixed bug… the advice appears to be ‘reboot and then it might work’. ---
