PCSX2 Crashes on startup

[Bretturk]

I had been playing for a few weeks having a lot of fun, no problems, the last thing I remember playing was Dragon Quest 8 yesterday and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.  And then today, I try to play it and right when I open PCSX2 it closes after a second.  I don't get a chance to click any games or settings or anything and it just closes.

I had been using v1.7.5826-windows-x64-Qt, but after the problem I downloaded and installed the latest nightly build which is v1.75913-windows-x64-Qt and that one also closes a second after starting up and showing the game list.  So I went to download the latest stable release 1.6.0 which fortunately it does work, but it seems to be lacking a lot of the features I got used to with the more recent versions.

I went to Documents/PCSX2 and attached a crash report text file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

update your vcredists, update your gpu and igpu drivers (not with windows device manager, of course. do it the proper way)

Thank you, I downloaded the x86 version of vcredists, restarted the pc, and I didn't linger, just clicked fast into a game hoping the window wouldn't close and that seemed to work. I then changed a setting in there to stop looking for games at a certain location. Thinking about it and I realize that over the last 24 hours I've done a whole lot of (un-)zipping and organizing of PS1 games (of which I use another emulator), and I forgot that this was associated with those, so I deleted that from the rom location list. Anyways everything seems good again, thanks a lot for your help.
