That's curious.
Two questions:

Which version of Windows is this?
In what way does OpenSCAD fail?

Thanx 4 yer quik reply! My old digits can't even type that fast.

Windows 7 on a 5 y/o Toshiba L505
all versions install fine, 2015.02 snapshots do not load when .exe file
or shortcut are selected, cursor hourglass for a few seconds, then nothing
starts, program doesn't open.

I have modified a file based upon 2014.05 snapshot, originally authored by
others.
the script ran well last week on 2015.02.15, now SCAD will not open at all.

Thx., more questions:
o Is this a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows?
o Did you use the OpenSCAD installer, or just the .zip file?
o Just to be on the same page, could you test 2015.02.25 ?

In the meantime, I’ll test on a Windows 7 VM.

Well, I'll stop updates for now. As they look suspect.

I'll also do an 'Install' in case it makes a difference.

I am slow in applying Windows Updates.

ATM there are 5 important/1 optional, they are:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2901983 The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
(this one is quite old, so I suspect it may have been installed by others a
while ago, so unlikely to be reason for current issues)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3034196 jscript9.dll & Address Space Layout
Randomization (ASLR) (heap/stack changes - highly suspect, read the detail
on ASLR)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3006137 currency symbol of Lithuania
(unlikely)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3006625 Domain controller freezes (unlikely)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3021917 Update to Windows 7 SP1 for
performance improvements (unlikely)

Optional - nVidia - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2,
Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, Other hardware - NVIDIA ION (???)

On more thing you could try:

Open a DOS prompt in the OpenSCAD folder, and run OpenSCAD on the cmd-line:
$ openscad file.scad -o out.stl

Does this work?

I've just went through all the 14 important updates available for my
Windows 7/64bit VM one by one, restarting after every installation.

OpenSCAD 2015-02-25 still works (just testing with the LetterBlock
example).

Of cause it could still be some driver update I'm not getting on the
VM.

ciao,
Torsten.

Try to run the entire command on a dos prompt. It should not open a GUI but create an STL file directly:
$ openscad file.scad -o out.stl

My openscad file was last saved with assembly module uncommented, and
individual parts commented out. This will generate a large file of unwanted
geometry.
I need to use other programs for mods to miniaturize the input dims.
I have .stl for current rev. parts.

I did try to open scad in the dos window, all I got was 5 sec. delay to
prompt refresh.
