anime2kuk Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Can someone help me please? Everytime I open Houdini, an error message comes up stating, "Fatal Error: Floating Point Exception", and then Houdini just closes down. How do I fix this problem? I have installed both Houdini 7 and 6.1.408 on Windows XP and they don't work. I have a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX400 graphics card (if that helps).

malexander Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 That's a pretty low-end video card you've got, and it may be causing some problems. Try using software OpenGL and see if that at least gets you up & running. 1) Open the control panel (Start->Settings->Control Panel) 2) Click on System, switch to the 'Advanced tab' 3) select 'Environment Variables' 4) under 'User Variables', hit 'New'. 5) Type in a Variable name of HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE with a value of 1 6) Click all the Ok's and Apply's and it should be set. Now Houdini will run without any 3D hardware support, which means it might be really slow. You will need to restart any running Houdini's to switch to software mode. If this doesn't help, be sure to remove the HOUIDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE variable (do steps 1-4, then highlight HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE in the list & Delete) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
