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.
