Hi. Complete novice here.
I downloaded the Houdini Apprentice Edition, yesterday 19 feb.
It appears to have been successfully installed.
But, when I click on the command line - the top line - files through help.
They turn blue and - - -
I go to License Adminstrator and click on File and View - they turn blue and - zero.
Obliviously, I have done something wrong.
Any advise.
I am behind a firewall. My system a dual 800, running on 2000.
Uninstall and . . .
I click on the command line - the top line - they turn blue

I have a dual monitor card a Appian Pro.
Its driver is a win2kv107p2.
I did again uninstall - reinstalled and same problem.
I can not open anything - ie Licenses Administrator ( can go to the Installed Licenses and Server Info) but can not change, so I cannot run halo ect.
I can start Master, and it appears to let me change Xform info, crop, view.
But, no pull downs appear under - file - edit - options - dialogs - desktops - help.
all in all very sad.

Hi Jay,
I did a quick search of the Internet & found that the Appian pro card uses a Permedia 2 chipset.
Unfortunately, the chipset is not certified to run Houdini. Please go to this link [sidefx.com] for a systems requirement guide.
The above said, maybe you would like to try downloading drivers from 3Dlabs [3dlabs.com]? I'm not sure if they will work with your graphics card though.
One workaround is to use software OpenGL to run Houdini on your system. Please go to this link [sidefx.com] for instructions on how to set HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE in Windows.
Please note that the above workaround will cause Houdini to lose some interactiveness.
Please let us know if you have any more questions.
Cheers!
