(i'd like to report to you the 'Q-number' in my signature but I have no idea what the Q-number is or how to find it. nor do i know what API i'm running for IM)

This is insufficient information. Please read viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9620

The Q level is available from

convert -version

typically Q16 for default installs. See your signature line.

I am not a Windows user, so cannot really help further. Perhaps your install was bad. Did you install a 64-bit version of IM on a 32-bit computer? What exact install did you do? Do other IM functions work from the command line? Can you display an image created by IM from some other tool?

What does your linked image have to do with Magickwand? It seems to be more about running Imagemagick Display?

Sorry - I saw the wand icon and assumed it was Magickwand. nevertheless, what is the failure that's being reported?

That is what I am asking you. What is the issue/problem? And how did you install Imagemagick? What binary or was it from source?

As I am not a Windows user I do not know anything about ImageMagick Display on the PC. Basically Imagemagick is a command line driven app. There is no substantial GUI for it.

Does your Imagemagick work from the command line in your COMMAND window? Type these there:
Does it return your version information? If so, then type
If that does not fail, then can you then display logol.gif in some other viewer (such as Irfanview or just drop it in your browser)?

Hopefully, one of the IM Windows users can be of more help.

I don't use Windows 10.

On Windows 8.1, a desktop link to "imdisplay.exe" works fine. I can drag-n-drop image files to it and view them.

If it didn't work, I would first look at the properties of the icon. Does it link to the correct program? Does the security allow me to run it? Does a compatability mode help?

he would need to be an IM Windows user who's located in New York City because this degree of bewilderment will not be settled by online discourse.

it is the binary shown in my signature: ImageMagick-6.9.2-4-Q16-x64-dll.exe

You are trying to run a 64-bit executable. The error message, that it won't run on your PC, probably means you have a 32-bit PC. See if downloading and installing ImageMagick-6.9.2-4-Q16-x86-dll.exe works for you.
