I get an invalid picture when in safe mode

(1/2) > >>

Rod:
I followed directions, did a power reset then some optional repairs, SFC - ck disk plus a back up & sys restore. Then booted in safe mode with networking on a Windows 7 computer. What happens is I get an invalid picture message with and X in a red circle. The program does not load in safe mode. I tried it from the shortcut and start menu. I could have taken a screen shot but its the same that has happened before. I planned to take the free version for a test drive then consider the pro. Hopefully it can be resolved, if not no point in going any farther. Thanks for your help

Julian:
can you open cmd prompt and type in sfc /scannow

Rod:
Yes as mentioned I did that before I posted. However I did it again with no integrity violations. I also booted into safe mode 3 or 4 times. There is a definite problem. Its seems kind of strange that only a few get this message.  Thanks for your time

Boggin:
Run the program a couple of times in normal mode and then try again in Safe Mode.

You don't need to be connected to the Internet for it to run in Win 7 so it would be safe to disable your AV program and switch off your router.

You could also try deleting the desktop icon and run the program from All Programs.

This problem was reported in 2013 and Shane replied at the time that the program was written in the old school VB6.

Don't know if that is still the case given the transformation it will have undergone since then, but from a Google, a similar problem was resolved by removing the icon - if I understood it correctly.

Rod:
I deleted the icon and did as suggested. It appears to run fine and did before but I never tried the repair part. It says its best to run that in safe mode. I know some programs that may interfere  & I do not want to take a chance. I know there is a backup but I'd prefer to feel safe at this time. Maybe later on but not now.  Thanks
