Home page black Morphology Charts not working

New customer to Logos 6

The home screen has been black since purchase. I have called support. They looked through my computer, but they could not solve it. I have tried all suggestions I could find. It was working briefly, but it is not working again.

Specs:

Dell Latitude E5520
Windows 7, 64 bit, SP1
Video driver - Intel HD Graphics 3000, driver version 9.17.10.4229 5/26/2015 - current
ran chkdsk - no issues
no conflicts with any hardware
Windows Update is current.

All other software is working fine on my computer.

Ran In-place reinstallation of Windows 7
Ran .Net Framework Repair tool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135
Ran recommended troubling shooting by third party software: Verified .Net Framework is working with verification tool:
.NET Framework Setup Verification Tool http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx

Uninstalled/Reinstalled .Net Framework - ran other third party that totally wipes .Net Framework from registry and then reinstalled.

I was told by Customer Support to contact Dell, but if it is only happening with this software - you know what Dell will say: It's the Logos software. Everything else on my laptop is working fine - even better since windows reinstall.

Here are the screen shots:

Should Net Framework NGEN listed in System Configuration/Services (highlighted in yellow in picture below) be running? Tried to get it to start in Computer Management/Services but can't - provided it should be running.

Any suggestions? HELP - Totally exasperated.

This really looks like a video driver problem; unfortunately, since you say you already have the latest version of the driver, I don't really have any suggestions of how to fix it.

(.NET Framework NGEN is unrelated to this problem.)

FWIW, we had another customer with an unusual problem on the home page that we were unable to reproduce in-house or fix. But she updated her computer to Windows 10 and that fixed the issue. I'm not saying that that would help this specific problem, but if you were already considering a free Windows 10 update it could be worth doing that first before we spend more time looking into this issue.

I am going to revert to a previous driver version to see if that helps...

Well, this is extremely frustrating:

Removed current/newest graphics driver
Rebooted
Installed original graphics driver
Rebooted - Logos 6 home page worked
Upgraded newest driver
Rebooted - Logos 6 worked
Closed Logos 6 and reopened - back to black home page[:(]

The original graphics driver works, so will use that. Conventional tech wisdom recommends installing new drivers. In this case, installing the oldest driver worked. Perhaps this will help someone else.

David: for reference, can you post the driver version that you've found to work?

The original version I installed that works is the “Intel HD Graphics Family” - version 8.15.10.22.66 12/16/2010

Software listing in Control Panel/Programs: “Intel Processor Graphics”

The Dell driver update utility recommends diver update to installation of Intel HD, HD 2000/2500/3000/4000 Graphics Driver, Version 9.17.10.3040, A12.

If you update per Dell recommendation, this changes the graphics driver to Intel HD Graphics 3000 (The driver I had installed at the time of purchasing Logos 6) I have had trouble running this driver with Logos 6. For reference, please note my OS in original post above.

I have reverted to the original driver.
