Oh! I get it! Now I feel like quite a fool! Everything is working fine now. Thanks Joe, Pagefan, and jason_iversen! I will remember your patience and kindness.

Yikes! I created the new environment variable, and set its value to 1. I wish I could say that it worked, but it didn't. :cry: I was still able to follow your instructions, but does it matter that I have Vista?

Also, I was thinking. The screenshot below is what Houdini looks like from the top view. So it is pretty clear to me that the two things I circled in green are causing the problems. Is there a way (in preferences or something) to remove them?

Joe, thank you very much for your prompt answer. I'm sorry to use up even more of your time, Joe, but I'm not sure I understand! I have never had to change environment variables before, and I do not know how. Is the “HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE” a variable that already exists, or it one that I have to create? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks again,
Quinn

By the way, you were right: I do have an Intel integrated graphics driver.
