Mirador fails to open about mirador HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for the report. I've been testing on windows 10 without issues of this nature, this may be specific to windows 7, will check.

@johnnyrepass Quick question, if you try running Mirador.exe from the command line, do you get any error message?

Hi, I'm on win 8. Just downloaded both 32 and 64 bits version and both fails to open up.

When trying to run the .jar from command line get the following:

> java -jar mirador.jar
DPI detection failed, fallback to 96 dpi

@vitorhirota Thanks a lot for posting the error log, it is very informative. I will look closer into the possible cause for these errors (DPI detection and NPE, not sure if they are the same thing or not).

This commit b58970e should solve the issue. I will release v1.5.0 shortly including this fix, feel free to reopen if still happens (don't have access to a windows 7 machine to test).

Just to confirm it now opens up beautifully on win8 ;)
Thanks!
