RE: mentalray bug in XSI64 (multicore problem?)

You lost your desktop? Do you mean just the taskbar, or all your desktop shortcuts?

 

Maybe try killing explorer.exe and then starting it again.

There are some strange stuff in there
It was also not working 
without the UI, so I did a clean boot, I ran xsi via the task manager and it 
worked!
I rebooted with a normal boot, all the services are there, xsi32bit 
is working(good!) but i lost my desktop(explorer.exe is running)
any 
idea?

Thanks
Ahmidou.

Hi Ahmidou

 

Can you check the SPM server log to verify that that 6.5 32-bit is getting a license before it crashes?

You'll see OUT and IN entries for the license.

 

If XSI is getting a license, then check whether XSI can run without its UI:

Also, you may want to clean boot, and maybe use something like Process Explorer to make sure nothing extra, eg Kaspersky, is running, in case it is a conflict.

 

In the NOD case, we did a clean boot, but something was still running and blocking XSI.

Do you have NOD antivirus?

Hi
We have 2 new workstations, our first 64bit ones, they 're bi xeons (2*4cores) with XP64, 4gig of ram
I have a character with bump but when i'm rendering with FG I have some tiles where there is no bump.
I'm suspecting that some cores are missing something.
Is it a knew bug?any workaround?

Thanks
Ahmidou.
