I have downloaded and installed version 4.7 of the bitshares-x wallet on Windows 7. When I start the software it asks me to enter a password to create a wallet. Nothing seems to happen. If I quit and restart the software, it asks for my password and then tells me I have the wrong password. I have tried uninstalling and deleting the appdata bitshares-x folder and reinstalling and starting over again, and I have tried starting the program as administrator, but I always get the same result. Can you help me create and open a wallet?
Just confirming, on launch it shows a password box and a password confirmation box, you enter the same password in the two boxes and click to confirm, but nothing happens at all?
right click the short cut, go to properties, click compatibility tab, then make it backwards compatible with windows xp service pack 3.

A few large dots display for less than a second, and then nothing happens after that.

Thanks. I tried that, but I get the same result.
1) I uninstalled and deleted the appdata folder for Bitshares-x.
2) I reinstalled and when it says launch, I said no and instead went to properties for the icon and changed the compatibility mode.
3) I started the software using the icon and entered the same password twice and pressed create wallet
4) A few large dots flash on and off quickly (less than a second) and I wait. Nothing happens.
5) I quit by using the menu option from the file menu.
6) I re-start the program using the icon
7) It asks for my password to open the wallet. I enter the password - it says "Wrong Password"

Could you provide us with more details on what happens on step #4? Is the button still available so you can press it second time?

Thanks for the reply. I don't understand why, but I tried it one more time doing the same things I had done previously, and this time it worked. I am going to change the title to Resolved.
