Create New Score Wizard crashes MS
When trying to create a new score by using Ctrl-N or File>New MS crashes immediately and has to be closed. I tried everything: new download and install, execute as Administrator, returning to program standards (via Windows+R, "C:\Programs\Musescore\mscore.exe" -F), trying to use MS as another user. Nothing works. I cannot access the Create New Score wizard. I'm using MS under Windows Vista (up-to-date). It's quite annoying. Can anybody help?

Which version of MuseScore are you using?
MuseScore already works once on your machine? Can you check preferences -> general -> Instrument list? What's the path there?
@lasconic : I am using version 1.2, the path to the instrumentlist is
C:/Program Files/MuseScore/templates/instruments_nl.xml (as I am Dutch).
And yes, last week it all worked fine.
However, there were the usual Windows-updates in the meantime. I'd rather not do a system-reset to an earlier date, because I changed a lot on my system since then.
Looking forward to a solution!

On my pc all regular, also after Win update (13/2/2013).
Let others know how it goes

Before reinstalling delete the folder C :/ Users / your name / AppData / Local / MuseScore (from folder options make "visible");
As in this conversation:

Then try to install
Check your antivirus, if you have upgraded (execute permissions);
@ everybody: something strange: on my XP-laptop MS 1.2 creates a new score with the wizard. It works on XP but not on Vista? I'm baffled.
Because I tried everyting and nothing works, and I'm thinking of upgrading my Vista-desktop to Windows 7 I'm closing this discussion. I will create my new scores on my laptop!
Thanks for every good advice!

Personally I would forget WIndows 7 and go straight to Windows 8.
There are significant speed increases in it over Windows 7, and once you get used to the new UI it's a breeze :)
