        @dude31222 never tried win7 myself… this topic was created a while ago…

        you can TRY setting an environment variable in the cmd.exe window before executing npm start

        cd MagicMirror
        set ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
        npm start

            @dude31222 that usually means u didn’t do the fonts install step or vendor install step

            those are extra for windows install

                  Heyo!
                  I’ve done a fresh install of MM2 (on Win10), and now I’m struggling with the blank electron screen.

                  I did the vendor and font install, changed the package.json to

                  "start":"node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
                  

                  according to the guide on page 15, and now I’m getting

                  bash: line 1: node_modules.binelectron: command not found
                  

                  on npm start, doesn’t start up MM.

                    @Reila you did not do the package.json edit correctly.

                    windows uses slashes leaning left

                    and u need 2 in each place

                    node-modules\\.bin\\electron  js\\electron.js

                      Oh, I just copied as it was! It might have been a different guide, it was old after all… I see the backward slashes in a later post now.

                      So now I tried

                      "start": "node_modules\\.bin\\electron  js\\electron.js",
                      

                      (with both the double and single space, just in case) and it’s giving me the same error still.
                      I tested changing the start-dev variant too.
                      I must be missing another step still.
