Hello, I am a complete newbie here. I want to start learning kotlin and OPENRNDR but it gives me this error every time i want to build the TemplateProgram: EXCEPTION\_ACCESS\_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00007ffe09ce59f0, pid=17728, tid=4688 Any help would be appreciated! I would also appreciate if anyone could guide me on how to make the Spore OPENRNDR gif. ![Spore- OPENRNDR](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/openrndr/original/1X/d60507ebc50c6cc4d5d676ff3b7652c9a651a148.gif) ---

Hello @pakisis! Welcome to the forum 🙂 I don’t really know why that error might be happening. How did you try to run the program? By clicking the green triangle next to `fun main()` ? If yes, you installed IntelliJ Idea and then just cloned the openrndr-template repo? About that gif: by looking at it I think it is - rendering a noise function onto a low resolution [RenderTarget](https://guide.openrndr.org/advancedDrawing/renderTargets.html) - writing [text](https://guide.openrndr.org/drawingBasics/text.html) on top of it - downloading the pixels (using [shadow](https://guide.openrndr.org/advancedDrawing/colorbuffers.html#color-buffer-shadows)) - sampling those pixels and using the pixel colors (maybe the brightness?) to choose a texture from a collection of textures. I see four areas, each area draws the textures with different sizes: largest ones on the top, smallest on the bottom. Something like that? 🙂 ---

Yea, I cloned the template from the github link as said in the guide. It was built normally but when I tried to run it with the green triangle next to fun main ( ) it gave me that error every time. I thought the error was popping up because I am using Windows 11. I tried the same thing on a Windows 10 virtual machine but it gave different kind of error. So I am kind of stuck here. ---

Could you paste the lines that follow that error? They might reveal which JVM is being used. Which version of Idea do you have installed? ---

These are the lines that follow the error in the virtual machine Windows 10: Exception in thread “main” java.lang.IllegalStateException: primary window could not be created at org.openrndr.internal.gl3.ApplicationGLFWGL3.createPrimaryWindow(ApplicationGLFWGL3.kt:549) at org.openrndr.internal.gl3.ApplicationGLFWGL3.(ApplicationGLFWGL3.kt:194) at org.openrndr.internal.gl3.ApplicationBaseGLFWGL3.build(ApplicationBaseGLFWGL3.kt:39) at org.openrndr.ApplicationBuilderKt.application(ApplicationBuilder.kt:84) at TemplateProgramKt.main(TemplateProgram.kt:9) at TemplateProgramKt.main(TemplateProgram.kt) I have the 2022.2.3 version installed on both Windows 11 and Windows 10 virtual machine. ---

I think that might be because it can not create an OPENGL window in the virtual machine. I would first try without a virtual machine as that adds more things that could go wrong. How does the error look in the Windows 11 machine? ---

On the Windows 11 machine it gives me this every time: ```auto A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00007ffe09ce59f0, pid=28180, tid=6636 # # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-17.0.5.8.1 (17.0.5+8) (build 17.0.5+8-LTS) # Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-17.0.5.8.1 (17.0.5+8-LTS, mixed mode, sharing, tiered, compressed oops, compressed class ptrs, g1 gc, windows-amd64) # Problematic frame: # C [atio6axx.dll+0x1759f0] # # No core dump will be written.

Does the reply here help? > **[AMD driver conflicts with Java and causes crash (atio6axx.dll)](https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/amd-driver-conflicts-with-java-and-causes-crash-atio6axx-dll/td-p/193499)** > > When I try to play Minecraft it crashes. According to the crash log, it crashes when it talks to my AMD graphics card. Everything is up to date and I reinstalled everything yet this still happens. I have also tried other things like changing UAC. My... Maybe upgrading or downgrading your graphics drivers helps? ---

Thank you, it helped me and now everything works! It still gives me this red text though: > INFO [main] o.o.i.g.ApplicationGLFWGL3 ↘ 3.4.0 Win32 WGL Null EGL OSMesa VisualC DLL > INFO [main] o.o.Application ↘ no preload class found ‘org.openrndr.Preload’ > INFO [main] o.o.i.g.ApplicationGLFWGL3 ↘ OpenGL vendor: ATI Technologies Inc. > INFO [main] o.o.i.g.ApplicationGLFWGL3 ↘ OpenGL renderer: AMD Radeon™ Graphics > INFO [main] o.o.i.g.ApplicationGLFWGL3 ↘ OpenGL version: 4.5.14800 Core Profile Forward-Compatible Context 22.5.1 30.0.15021.11005 Is this something that i need to be vary about? ---

Happy that you got it working! What was the trick? About that red text: it’s unfortunate that it’s red, because it’s just `INFO`. Nothing to worry about 🙂 ---

I updated all drivers i could think of and it started working. Thank you for your suggestion!
