Hi I'm having the same problem since updating from 6.5 a few weeks back , no welcome screen with menu or startup
and no access to items.
My system is
AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual core 5000= 2.6 GHz
4G ram
Windows 7 64 bit
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Kasperskys internet suite
I've followed this problem here ...
