Hmm I've got interesting results. I uninstalled the 64 bit version and reinstalled Construct2 as 32 bit. Now the image loads just fine and I can actually move the image around on the Layout page and everything, but I can't close the image editing window. The X button just won't work.

Any thoughts indeed? Ashley?

I just installed Construct 2 (latest version) and I am having the exact same problem on my Acer laptop with Intel GMA 4500M graphics. I have the latest drivers from manufacturer as well.

As it is, I'm stuck at step 2 of beginner's guide as this is preventing me from going further. :(

Edit: I'm using Windows 7 64-bit edition as well.

Edit 2: Turns out the latest drivers from Acer were actually outdated. However I manually installed Intel's own latest drivers and I am still having the same issue. :/ Bit of a bummer when you've got the business license.
