Hi Jonas
Have you sorted the problem out? I just installed V11 and got exactly the same problems as you. I also had problems with V10, it didnt crash my system but just had some process in the background but not even a startup screen. Very frustrating!

Further testing:
I uninstalled XBMC. Then deleted the XBMC folder under C:\Users\adrianb\AppData\Roaming\XBMC which was not removed on uninstall. Then reinstalled and ran, but again it crashed. After another forced shutdown, I then deleted XBMC\userdata and ran it again, and again it crashed.
Looking at the log file, I have similar events:
22:55:37 T:5196 ERROR: special://masterprofile/guisettings.xml, Line 0
Failed to open file
22:55:37 T:5196 ERROR: Unable to load special://masterprofile/guisettings.xml, creating new special://masterprofile/guisettings.xml with default values
but XBMC seems to continue thereafter and stops on the following line:
22:55:43 T:3372 ERROR: CRemoteControl::Connect - failed to connect

New user here. I've heard so many good thing about XBMC that i had to try! But...
I haven't been able to use it due to crash at startup. Don't know what could be the problem.

I experienced eden crashing upon startup on W7 64. Noticed the last post was directing the problem caused by the graphics card. I have the latest drivers, so I decided to change the colour depth from 32bit to 16bit. Hay presto... Fixed!!!

I had the same problem on w7 64. For me the issue was fixed by only using a single screen setting instead of my usual extended.
