Stephen.. I followed those videos you did about the process manager.. and a tutorial about running a script with xsibatch..no errors at all..
it did what it was supposed to do (echoed "hello") I never had mcafee or norton or any of the like on this machine.. and like i said.. until recently.. it worked fine.. i am fairly confident there is a conflict (obviously) but i cant pinpoint it at all.. which puts it just outside my wheelhouse... ill run the process manager again.. and isolate the data you indicate in your tutorial and send it to you... thank you so much for the offer. todd On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 5:42 AM, Stephen Blair <[email protected]> wrote: > If you want, send me the Process Monitor log and I'll take a look. > > You could try using msconfig to do a selective startup, but you'll need to > enable the right services to keep your licensing. > > Did you try to run a script with xsibatch? > > http://xsisupport.com/2012/12/12/the-case-of-mcafee-antivirus-vbscript-and-the-softimage-startup-crash/ > > > On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 10:20 PM, todd peleg <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi all.. >> >> I have a machine that softimage has worked on consistently for YEARS. >> >> today... it decided to open up with this error: >> "Failed to save scene before system failure" >> >> then its gone. >> >> ive tried a ton of the troubleshooting ive found thru google searches >> with no success.. >> >> can anyone point me to any other options? >> >> >> things ive tried thus far (not in this order): >> >> - checked the registry for issues related to jscript and vbscript >> (nothing found) >> - uninstalled any newly added software >> - renamed the user preferences >> - double checked graphics driver issues by >> a) editing the layout file to open with the explorer rather than the >> view manager >> b) reinstalled an approved graphics driver >> - installed 2 new clean versions of softimage (2014 and 2014 sp2) >> - runonce.bat (all all versions) - nothing showed up that i saw >> - launched xsibatch.. it worked >> >> i also tried the process manager... but.. i couldnt find anything >> outstanding.. though i admit at a certain point.. i got confused..and >> stopped reading thru it. >> >> thanks for anyone that can help. >> >> >> todd >> > >
