Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 29
What happened
I download the netbeans-29-bin.zip from the Apache website, unzipped, then ran netbeans/bin/netbeans. A flash screen appears and then a white window with a frame. Then it just sits there.
Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
NetBeans launch
How to reproduce
I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 card (which I know is old).
Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
