i downloaded the latest version of houdini 11 from the free apprentice download. wen the installation is done, it is not throwing up the licence server dialog box like in normal cases. wen i try to open houdini and just put a sphere on to a scene, it crashes wit the error ‘segmentation fault’.

its a new machine..toshiba m645, nvidia geforce GT330M, n i have driver version 189.72, win 7 32 bit.

BTW, i also tried upgrading my graphic driver to 258.96. but still nothing works. Im able to open my licence sever and view my seriver name n code and apprentice licence for houdini master n escape…

can anyone let me know whts gng on and wht cud be the solution?

I had the same problem with nVidia quadro fx4500 on winXP 32.
I solved the problem downgrading the graphic driver from 25x to 197.
