Hi,

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/0/f/0f23d5ed1345aaaae697340721c94409df0c9ab9.png)

I am having trouble when opening 3D Slicer. I have had this program for a while and it always works fine, but now when I open it I get a bunch of green lines across the screen. I have looked at the following 2 pages but I still can’t seem to fix it.

> Hey. Today, upon opening slicer my program is showing striped green lines across the entire program. Yesterday the program worked and nothing has changed overnight. I uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted, and did everything I know to do. Any advice? [image]

> Operating system: Windows 10 i7 Slicer version: 4.10.2 Hi all I have been using slicer with my pc for quite sometime. However, out of the blue, the following happen to my slicer as shown in the image below. I had tried reinstalling it but it does not work. Do you have any idea what is happening? Thank you [image]

I have uninstalled and re-installed the program several times. I can’t seem to find where the .ini files are to delete them.

I have also tried this but I nothing shows up and I cant find the path
