Bug: Dead In The Water - HQ Won't do a Clean Uninstall so HS Won't Launch

Ok.  Figured out how to get rid of the folders in the HyperSpin/Emulators folder and keep them from coming back.  Just delete them from the Emulators section in HQ, then delete the folders from the HyperSpin/Emulators folder.  HQ will no longer see them as installed when you go to add MAME again.

HyperSpin still will not run.  Still loads, but won't run.  I'm now going to try to uninstall HQ and reinstall to see if that changes anything.

Check  C drive ProgramFiles also hidden Users AppData folder and there’s another one ProgramData Not at a PC to confirm proper paths.

but the above have data and logs etc

Yeah you need to delete the hsdata files in your users directory

Here is my HS log showing little to nothing occurring when I start it.

Ok guys.  I finally figured out what the issue was and HyperSpin is now functioning.  First I'll let you know what the issue was, then I'll offer some recommendations on how to help with something like this in the future.

The issue was that I am using an older machine.  I connected my DVI to HDMI cable to the video port on the motherboard so I could update my NVIDIA graphics card drivers.  The problem was, that I never put the cable back and the onboard graphics chip is not strong enough to handle HS new HD display.

Once I moved the cable to my graphics card, HyperSpin was running like a champ.

Now, I would have never even thought to check that until I went back through the steps that I went through to get this computer ready to use it exclusively for testing HQ and HS.

What I would like to recommend is error pop ups.  HS was obviously erroring out or just getting stuck, but having something pop up stating that was occurring would be an extremely helpful tool in the future.

Another thing that kind of threw me, is the HS log only contained three lines in it (please see log I attached earlier in the thread.  Is the logging not set to a higher level and that's why there's only the three lines?  Can you please look into that when you have a chance?

I know you guys are busy, but I feel these two things would go a long way in resolving issues without relying on you all so much.
