No problem in starting agreed.

As normal user.

As normal user.

No special graphics just using as supplied with mother board.

I have been in touch with AstroStack and they are puzzled as well. 

Let us be sure we are not talking at cross purposes. The application
starts by providing three windows on the monitor, one wide one and two
square ones above the wide one, side by side. Now, start Build filelist
and select some .jpg files from img folder in AstroStack3LE folder. I
believe an image should appear in window marked Monitor 1. Do you get
this because I do not?

I have an old machine on which I ran AstroStack many months ago. I shall
try to get it working and, if I can, I will communicate the result.
