Thank you for the good tip, it could work but not in my case.
I hope the crash and the empty black window issues are not due to new graphic libraries demanding cutting edge graphic cards, the priority of a synth should not be the visual effects but the sound quality.
A possible solution for the dev team to add the possibility to start without animations, the first time.
If it really is only a Graphics driver issue, then how come my old PC from 2014 loads Vital 1.5.5, but my new one with an I7 Motherboard and newer graphics just crashes, I have even updated the driver for the Intel HD 3500 graphic card, but no dice, it crashes in the stand alone and in FL 21. I am at a loss and I have a whole set of presets that I created on my older PC specifically for my type of spooky music, but just canāt access them now in my new PC, itās very frustrating.
You could test if itās a Graphics issue by installing 1.0.7 and see if you can open that one.
Yeah, I know 1.0.7 works as I tried it already, but how can a newer graphics card be causing the issue when a much older graphics card that isnāt even updated works fine!!
Thatās a technical problem I can not solve for you 
Is it an integrated or discrete Graphics card ?

Its an integrated graphics card. I donāt know who to ask about this, I really need to be able to use version 1.5.5 due to the sounds I have created, and some sound packs I have bought, they are all for version 1.5.5, so using version 1.07 is not an option for me. I have removed Vital totally for now and just hope that a fix will come soon!!
