What about trying to 'run as a admin' on the xsi.bat and/or setenv.bat file?
If that works, it's something in the user rights that got messed up
somewhere.
As an additional test to see what's going on?

Yes, a bummer. Maybe less work with just reinstalling softimage..if it
will work then. I'm not sure if tried to reistalling Softimage back
then to fix it but I probably did. I think deleting the user account
was my last hope.

Interesting - this actually worked. I still can't start Soft on the
usual account, so I guess I will have to proceed with deleting it and
rename the new working one. Lots of crap to reestablish though. Bummer.
It would be really nice to know how it can become corrupted like this.
Last thing I did before it broke was exit Softimage without closing
the scene I had been working on.
Thanks Sven.

Can you log into the workstation with a different user and start
softimage? Or create a new user and log in with that account to
test? If so, the "holzhammer method" would be to delete the non
working account and create a new one with the same name. IRRC I
had a similar problem (Softimage simply didn't start without a
message) . I didn't resolved the issue but fortunatly I was in the
position to kill the account. The workstation was fubar btw, so it
didn’t matter :)

Rename prefs folder to test if it is something in there.

It is too long ago I had trouble like this, so I plain don't
remember how to deal with it.
Suddenly after a normal days work and submitting renders to RR
after closing Softimage I can't start it again. It crashes and
I get "Failed to save before system failure". Tried restarting
the computer and same problem.
I have tried renaming default.xsipref and start again, and I
have run runonce.bat - both without any luck. How do I proceed
from here?
Help is much appreciated - I don't really fancy reiinstalling,
although thtat would be my backup plan.
