Hi and Welcome to the Forums OzzieDave
First, i would like to apologize for the problems you are having and would like you to know that we will work with you to get through this problem and if possible prevent this from happening again in the future.
Q) Is this the first time you have installed skyline?
Q) Did you reboot after installation as the env vars need to be setup?
Q) Where is you skyline installed to? (the full path will help
)
The ImageMagick that comes with skyline will work on your version of windows and skyline is still DX9 for the version you are running. Currently we are upgrading the renderer to DX11 and OpenGL3+ to keep with modern trends.
Thanks for the patience and lets get this working
