Archicad 10 Shuts Down When Opening...Please Help!

[Anonymous]

Iv been using archicad 10 for 2 years now with no problems whatsoever in installing and running the program, yet after installing the program on a different computer as soon as the program loads up it simply exits completely.

Iv reinstalled the program twice now but to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how i can solve this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated..thanks alot.

System, specs, etc?

My machine more than matches up to the requirements of archicad...is there anything else this could be?

If everything else is OK it must be your license - contact your reseller for support!

WHat Matthew asked is to post the machine specs. There are OS specific issues.

first off memory and RAM are kinda the same thing - it sounds like you have a 40GB hard disk and 256MB of memory. both of those are very very light for a machine to be running archicad these days - particularly if you have other applications up and running as well.

the second thing - as djordje alluded to - is that there could be OS specific issues. so is it mac? windows? and which variety . . . ?

does this happen when you are try to open a certain file? is archicad up to date (latest build)? is there a network archicad is looking for? etc...

Oh right...im running it on windows and its on archicad 10...its only a standalone computer so no network access and what happens is that whenever i load up archicad..the program will load normally but as soon as its completely loaded up the screen will just exit...can this be simply down to my RAM or hard disk?

Some questions:
Does any ArchiCAD bug report come up? If yes, you can send that to GS.
Have you tried reinstalling ArchiCAD to see if that helps. Maybe there was something wrong with the installation?
Can you try if this happens on another computer as well or only this one?
