@Mykle1 Thanks for your help on the DISPLAY issue. I changed the line in packages.json file to:
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,
I get the following error message back:
> magicmirror@2.20.0 start > node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js 'node_modules' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. -
@Cliff365 you didn’t follow all of the last line of

@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 -
@sdetweil still having an empty screen but no more error messages in cmd
-
@dude31222 that usually means u didn’t do the fonts install step or vendor install step
those are extra for windows install
-
@sdetweil i did. Now i’ve upgraded to windows 8.1. still a black screen but a new error```

@dude31222 I don’t know. those are so far out of service…
