I'm having this same problem on a Windows 2008 R2 virtual server.
I've tried with v6.6.3-9 and 6.6.3-10 (Q16 Windows X64 DLL) and v6.6.3-10 (Q16 Windows X64 Static).

Have you found anything that helps yet?


Hmmm....
It seems to run okay if I create a shortcut to run it in Windows Vista compatibility mode...

I was in a rush initially and gave up and installed the x32 version. Haven't gone back to muck with it since then.

Lost most of my interest when I found out that InDesign apparently flattens images when in converts them to .psd, so the whole point in getting to transform CMYK PSDs to rgb is moot now...

This issue is solved by right clicking on the .exe going to the properties, then going to the compatibility tab, and selecting windows vista. With that selected, the program works from a command line in windows 7.

Thanks for that valuable info.
I lost a few hours to figure out how to get imdisplay to run without error on windows7-64..
PLEASE put that information into the Windows usage section and the QuickStart.txt.

or somewhere close to other important information regarding windows (like the page to the advice by Ron Savage: http://savage.net.au/ImageMagick/html/i ... nvert.html)
However: Thanks a bunch for that great program!
