DAZ Studio won't launch

Hi,
I've a weird problem. DAZ worked fine for me all the time until I decided to do a cleanup, reinstall it and all my stuff with it. I used download manager to redownload it and install, and after that when trying to launch the .exe nothing happens, it just doesnt launch, doesnt even appear in processes.

My specs:
Win 7 64
Xeon E3 3,80 Ghz
16 GB RAM
GF 760

I didnt change anything else in my system and everything else runs fine, all drivers are up to date, clean registry, HDD in perfect shape, fresh install of Windows from 2 weeks ago. Tried reinstalling it a couple of times, including a fresh download of both the DAZ Studio installer, Install Manager+CMS, and nothing.

Any ideas?

    You are using the nVidia drivers, not the Windows defaults? Do you even get the splash screen for DS? If you go to C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio 4 and open the log.txt file (assuming there is one) how does it end?

    The next sections should be:

    Scanning import folders
    Scanning content folders
    Using GLEW 1.9.0
    Supported OpenGL extensions:

    So, the obvious potential issues are some kind of bad directory link, a corrupted layout file, or driver issues. The middle one is the easiest to try - remove all of the .dsx files from the C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio 4 folder and try launching again.

    I removed all of the files mentioned and it still won't launch, also reinstalled everything again using default settins and locations, still nothing.

    Do you have any idea as to which drivers might be causing this? I'm a bit loss here because all other software works fine (and I'm using 3D modelling tools on daily basis).

    Did you try removing the .dsx files?

    I do notice, if I'm reading the log correctly, that you are in Poland (or at least, using a Polish version of Windows). What is the exact path to your Public Documents folder on the disc drive?

    Yes, I removed those files, still no effect.

    I'm using Polish Windows, path to my Public Documents is C:\Users\Public\Public Documents.

    Well, that appears to rule out DS choking on a non-standard (for the US) character. I'm not sure what to suggest next.
