Can't start Houdini Apprentice after install (screenshots) Feb. 3, 2008, 6:12 p.m.

I'm using the driver that was installed by Dell on my system. I have not updated the video drivers. Curious that it was having a problem with my hardware opengl driver…

I tried the HOUDINI_OGL_DISABLE_FBO_RENDER_TO_TEXTURE and that also allows me to run Houdini.

HOUDINI_OGL_DISABLE_FBO did NOT allow me to run.

Does this mean that since I am not disabling OGL hardware that my video driver is not the issue?

It looks like that did the trick!

I am not getting the error and I actually got a window asking about getting a license now.

Can you explain what exactly that environment variable did?

And thank you very much!

I am having the same problems. I just installed Houdini Apprentice 9.0.0.794 on my Dell XPS M1710 laptop. It's 2ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram, 512mb geforce 7950gtx. Runnin XP Pro SP2

When I start Master or Escape I immediately get “hkey.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close” also happens when I start License Administrator.

I have not seen any of the same things that the OP has in the screenshots though.

I also tried disabling my firewall and rebooting, no change. I just tried the command line hkey -n. The license admin tries to start but then disappears and I get the same hkey.exe error.
