thanks, that did it. for the record the folder to delete was

~/Library/Preferences/houdini/10.0

i'm also not getting any icons on osx 10.6.2. i've tried with builds 10.0.465 and 10.0.501. i've also looked at the YouTube video, which is basically a really complicated way of saying ‘sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/Houdini*’. the latter fix seems to be targeted toward startup instability, which i am not experiencing. any further thoughts on how to fix this issue?

forgot to mention, this is 64bit, but i think that's the only option for osx.
