Hello to all:
This being my first offical post in this forum, I am rather excited about this
whole Apprentice idea sidefx is doing. <thumbs up guys and gals @ houdini> Okay this is my promblem.
I sucessfully got houdini 5.5.36 apprentice working on my workstation at work. Do not blame me, I did not get to pick out this computer. Houdini seems run fine and dandy for now on this box. I have not done much work on it yet, but I have not had any problems other than the redraw of menus and applets but given that I that the box only has intergrated graphics :evil: so I can not complain.
Well my friend gave me a Dell laptop c600, and I have playing around on it for some time now, and I thought it would be nice to get houdini 5.5.36 up and running so when I go to my local coffee shop I will have something
to do besides play around in photoshop [not that I do not mind playing
around in photoshop]
Well I just tried installing Houdini on this laptop and I get hkey.exe has generated errors when trying to get an apprentice license. FYI this laptop is a p3 1gig with 256mb ram 8mb video = the same as the demension 4500s It is currently running windows 2000 SP2 with all the latest drivers and fixes.

i did a dependecy check with dependency walker 2.1 on hkey.exe and everything seemed all right. i just do not understand why it is crashing.
