Code: Select all

   0.039  [0]: \\.\DISPLAY1 - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS  {0x05, [0,0], 1360x768, 32bit, 60Hz}
   0.539     Video memory size (dedicated/total available/current available): 256/256/81 MB

Your graphics card doesn't have enough VRAM to run Factorio, the minimum requirement is 512MB. You can try solution 1 from viewtopic.php?t=9300 to set the video memory usage to low but even if that works the performance will be poor.

Not having a dedicated graphics card means your graphics solution uses system memory which usually is not as limited as VRAM.

Actually, with settings you use it should consume only about 100 MB of video memory when loaded to menu.

Here is my summary on previous "main menu freezes" reports, maybe one of them is also your case: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=35809#p221640

Thank you very much for reaching out Factorio staff!
I think we nailed down the problem to an external process hanging the game.
It seems like G-Buster Browser Defense, gbpsv.exe, was holding the game hostage. This software is required to be installed by some big banks in Brazil, so that would explain two other Portuguese Windows 7 users with a similar issue. In fact, viewtopic.php?t=34998 seems to be running G-Buster on his screenshot. (You might have to run Task Manager as an Administrator to see it, if you have it installed)
This process is one of those "hard-to-kill" ones, so I had to use a tool to kill it (I used https://www.processblocker.com/, personally).
It's a piece of software that is supposed to constantly protected your computer, like an anti-virus, but it causes so much headache: 100% CPU hogging, holding other programs hostage... If you google gbpsv.exe, the top results are "how to remove gbpsv.exe".
My problems hasn't returned since then. I hope this helps others.
