This just started for me. I can't start Houdini. If I reinstall it it runs fine till I reboot my computer, then when I try to run it I get the splash screen and a window pops up too fast to read and nothing.

Hi there,

Can you please provide more information about your system configuration? Hardware eg graphics card, CPU, RAM? OS eg Windows 2000/XP, Linux, Solaris, Irix?

Also, did you change any configuration on your machine recently? Installed any drivers etc? Installed any new software?

Can you please go to Start -> Programs -> Side Effects Software and start the License Administrator? In the License Administrator, go to View -> Diagnostic Information, save the information and post it here?

Thanks!

Cheers!

With ref to the below and Harlequin's same message Sun 7/13 i have run into same problem

at any Houdini module start up License administrator searches for connection - clicks out without sending anything and screens close - in houdini License Administrator Diagnostics Output the pertinent line is as follows:

Using standalone mode: Yes

Warning No valid server lines found

as a connection is not made from the software that is understandable - but like harlequin I have gone through uninstall and install and nothing changes - whether the software is downloaded from the site or from the CD I have

your response is appreciated

regards

Dali
