Java Platform SE stopped on Win 7

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello,

Trying to install the Arduino IDE for use with an ESP8266.
I downloaded and installed 1.8.5 from arduino.cc.
When I went to run Arduino nothing happened.
Checking task manager I found it did start but then ended shortly later.

I found where you can run arrduino_debug.exe from the forums but it doesn't return an error message.
Instead I get a popup stating Java(TM) Platform SE has Stopped Working. I can close program or debug.
Debug reveals that we are using Java.exe under the Arduino\Java\Bin folder.

I have attempted reinstalls and reboots with no luck.
This is the extent of my current knowledge and would appreciate any input.

Thanks,
SWR_DMaster

Solved!

Turns out to be a driver issue between Java and my NVidia GPU drivers.

Installed 378.57 and rebooted. Arduino now starts!

Thanks!
