I recently reinstalled Krita onto my laptop, it is using a ‘intel core i3’ and runs on Microsoft windows 7. 
Following the reinstallation of the program the canvas now displays black. 
Notes: 
1.	I did not update the version of Krita I was using, nor- did my drivers get updated at this time. 
2.	Upon reading about the Black Screen of Death I tried to fix the problem by updating the drivers. This did not produce any changes. BSOD remains. 
3.	In an attempt to thwart the BSOD I removed Krita again and downloaded, uninstalled, and reinstalled, three different versions of Krita, each progressively older. This had no effect. BSOD now affects ALL versions of Krita. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download Krita onto a computer using Windows 7 with an intel i3 core
2. open krita, see black screen of death. 
3. (cry) optional. 

Actual Results:  
Black screen of death still persists 

Expected Results:  
shown a white canvas as it had in the past. 

I read a lot of the blogs saying that you need to do ‘Update the drivers’ and/or a ‘driver is broken- came that way from the manufacturer’ 

This is NOT the case. 

Krita was working fine, white canvas, no sluggish reactions, nothing. The black screen of death only came to pass AFTER I installed the same version of Krita I was previously running.
