BMS 4.33 Crash to desktop upon start up

Help!

4.33 crashes to desktop upon launch. It crashes whether I launch it from the desktop shortcut icon, and it crashes if I launch it from the button in YAME.

It was working fine last night and tonight it won’t launch. Of course I’ll say that nothing changed….

Symptoms:
Last night was working fine. I just got my thrustmaster MFD frames and was trying them out. I spent most of the time fiddling around with YAME Gauges settings to make sure the extracted MFDs appeared on my second monitor at the right part of the screen to be under the Thrustmaster MFD frames. Extracted a couple more gauges, moved em around, re-sized them to my liking. Finally got everything the way I want. Started BMS from the button in YAME. EVERYTHING WORKED! YAY! Flew one short Training mission - number 4 I think - the night ILS landing. Everything was working great. YAME extracted all the gauses to me second monitor, the joystick was controlling the plane, the buttons on the Trustmaster MFD correctly changed the MFDs in-game. Landed Kunsan, rolled out, esc-Exit, Back, Exit, Exit. Closed BMS. Closed YAME. Disconnected second monitor, joystick, and two Thrustmaster MFDs. (because share desk with wife for her work).

Today, reconnected my peripherals, YAME appears to be working alright but when I try launching BMS 4.33 the first splash screen (the black one) appears for a few seconds then disappears. Tried launching BMS 4.33 without YAME = same thing.

I am pretty sure BMS is not running “off screen” somewhere in space. Task Manager shows only YAME and my AV running, no BMS.

Win 10 btw… I also tried a re-boot. Nada…

Went from happy working one evening to not launching the next evening. Computer not used between sessions.

Ideas, anyone???
