All of a sudden, when I run Flare 9 on Windows 7 64-bit as usual, the splash screen is displayed but then no application window appears, and there's nothing minimised in the taskbar. However, flare.exe _is_ in my process list.
EDIT: I found the issue - it's a conflict with the app 7zip. The problem only started after I installed that. Upon uninstalling it, Flare now works fine again.
