Giuseppe,
please always cc to Maxima at math.utexas.edu . So more than just one person
can help.
At this point I now assume there is nothing wrong with the configuration of
maxima. I see two possibilities:
- maxima.exe has been corrupted during download or installation.
- There is still a mechanism in your Windows which prevents maxima from
working.
I ask you to completely deinstall maxima, download one more time, install
again and to be aware if in any stage of installation or first usage
Windows shows any reactions.
You can additionally install Maxima 5.27 to see if this behaves
differently. On Windows it is possible to have more than one version
installed in parallel. There are different folder/path names.
In case this all doesn't help please write again to this list but with
another subject. wxMaxima has it's own mailing list (additionally you can
post to this list too). In this list you'll get more attention with
something like "Maxima not working under Windows 7".
Lots of my students successfully installed maxima on W7 64 Bit, so it
should work on your computer too.
Thank you for not giving up.
Good luck
Volker van Nek
