Vesta Not Displaying any atoms. Just a black screen

[Tommy Ie]

I was recently trying to connect vesta to Jana2006 when all of a sudden Vesta stopped displaying anything but a black screen no matter what CIF I downloaded.  I've already tried redownloading VESTA and all of my drivers to no success.  I was wondering if anyone had any idea on what I should try next?

I have had the same problem multiple times the last few months, usually a reinstall fixes it but it's come back a few times. Do you know what settings specifically could be causing this issue?

I have recently stumbled across this problem, too and it reminded me of a problem I encountered in another software, where only the screen went black.

Turned out the other software was using quick time viewer for displaying the window and due to some changes in Win11 or graphics drivers the older version of qt would not work properly anymore.

But not sure this is the same problem here. 

I tried reinstalling version v.3.5.8 (manually deleting the vesta folder) unpacking the v.3.5.8 (fresh downloaded)

I tried updating to v.3.90.5a

I tried running vesta as administrator

But the problem persists. I cannot render any structures any more. This is really annoying at the moment.

Any suggestions what to do?

Best
