I downloaded the latest drivers and installed them for the Ratheon 9000 drivers and set the environmental variables. I reloaded the program, as well. The same behavior, Houdini Master will not load and I can only run Houdini Select once and it crashes.

Maya and Adobe runs perfectly. It's Houdini that does not work on this machine. Does sidefx have a HCL for their software.

Any other suggestions? I'm at wits end. It's a shame because the graphics on the Fujitsu Lifebook are the best for notebook computers.

Maybe I need to build a machine only for Houdini and install the proper graphics card.

Thanks for the info. The fujitsu does indeed run the Mobility Ratheon 9000 (ATI) graphics card. Downloading the new driver right now.

I can run Maya and Adobe just fine on the Fujitsu Lifebook. However, none of the Houdini products will run on this type of machine. Can anyone provide any pointers on the stability issue of Houdini on XP?
