mennalur Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) I just installed Houdini apprentice on my laptop. When I try to open the Houdini help file by clicking on the question mark.I just get a blank page. This does work on my other laptop. So i don't really know what the problem could be.

Tom Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Sidefx said that they release fixed version tomorrow. Im just wondering how fast they respond on bug submits, cant compare to autodesk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkinmonkey Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I had problem with 11.1.60, searching in the help gives me troubles, now I've installed 11.1.67 and everything seems to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mennalur Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 thanks for all the help new version is indeed better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstram Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Sigh ... 5 years later ... the same problem ... but inconsistent. One time the help works... next it doesn't. This on Win 7 Houd version 15.5.607 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkinmonkey Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Sorry to hear that, no problem at moment in Windows 10 and Houdini Indie 15.5.480. Fresh installation of Houdini? TBH, I prefer more the online documentation than the inline help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
