Overview

Users may experience an issue where QuickSilver 3.8 software does not open, despite attempts to reinstall the software. This problem may persist even after following the instructions in the article QuickSilver Crashes While Opening. The root cause of this issue is often a conflict with the installed Java version. QuickSilver requires Java 1.7 for compatibility, but if a user has Java 1.8 installed, conflicts may arise.

Solution

To resolve the issue with QuickSilver 3.8 not opening due to a conflict with the installed Java version, follow these steps:

1. Uninstall all versions of Java from your system. This is to ensure that QuickSilver uses its built-in Java version, which is compatible.

3. Register and Activate QuickSilver.

For other computers experiencing similar issues, uninstalling all versions of Java should resolve the problem.
