Normally, when you start Maple, the first thing you see is a splash screen similar to the following:
Disabling this splash screen can sometimes help avoid start-up issues. To do this, please perform the following steps:
- Open the Maple launch file:
Windows (shown for 64-bit Maple 2020 and Windows):C:\Program Files\Maple 2020\bin.X86_64_WINDOWS\launch.ini
Macintosh (shown for Maple 2020)://Library/Frameworks/Maple.framework/Versions/2020/bin/maple
- Replace
# maple_args=-q
withmaple_args=-nosplash
-
Save the file. Please note that you may need to run the text editor with administrative privileges, or save the amended launch file first to your Desktop, and then drag-and-drop it using a file manager in to the proper folder.
Alternatively, on Windows, you can right-click the Desktop shortcut, go to "Properties", and then change "Target" to the following:
"C:\Program Files\Maple 2020\bin.X86_64_WINDOWS\maplew.exe" -nosplash
