RE: xsi 32 bit won't run on win64 anymore

So you tried -render, right?

 

 

How about a -script that opens a scene, like this:

watch out for line breaks in the above very long url

Ha ha...nice.  I get a nasty error that says:

What happens if you do something like xsi -script or xsi -render from the command line?

I'm wondering if I can get a little help on this.  I have a WinXP Pro64bit machine.  Recently, my 32bit version of XSI stopped running.  I basically get a splash screen and then it just freezes forever with the UI not fully loaded. I think this may be due to some weird DVD driver issues that I had to fix via a little registery hacking.  Thats around when I noticed 32bit XSI wouldn't start but I can't confirm.  So far I've dont just about everything...upgraded graphics driver, reinstalled XSI, deleted user prefs, etc.  XSI 64bit runs just fine.  XSI 32bit v6.02 and v6.5 will not work.  I have reported this to support but I'm hoping someone here might be able to shed a little more light on my problem. Any ideas?
