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.

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.

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 :) sven From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Morten Bartholdy Sent: Monday, January 11, 2016 6:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Can't start Softimage - system failure That wasn't it :/ MB Den 11. januar 2016 kl. 17:59 skrev Sandy Sutherland < [email protected] >: Rename prefs folder to test if it is something in there.

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. Morten
