Archicad 14 Start Problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello everyone!
I have downloaded the student version of Archicad; following the instructions I have installed it but everytime I try to start it after a few seconds the graphisoft bug report pops up.
I have already look for some answers in this forum and I have update quicktime, java, disabling the antivirus, starting the software as administrator, followed the guide for the install problems but it doesn't work.
I have win 7, 64 bit.
Anyone has any suggests to fix this problem?
Thank you.

Nothing...only in safe mode works.
It seems that there is some conflict.
I'll try to uninstall autocad and cinema 4D before installing again archicad 14.

Can you post a screenshot of the full list of programs installed on your computer?

Do you mean a list of the active process in the task manager?

I mean in the Control Panel, there is the Program and Feature Dialog which lists all installed programs.
I want to check if I see any suspicious program that may interfere with ArchiCAD.

I would first check those Dell Datasafe programs, and also the McAfee virus protection software.
Try to either uninstall these or end their processes in the Task Manager, see if that makes any difference.

I'm out of ideas.
You should contact your local reseller with the report so they can handle it.

Wasn't there something mentioned about "Windows indexing" I think that messes up Archicad?
I think there might be something in Archi-wiki about it.
I will try and look later if you don't beat me to it?

The "File Indexing" (not Windows indexing as I said before) might be just a speed issue and not one that would stop Archicad running.

The only other thing that I can think of is do you have full read and write permissions to all of the Graphisoft program files?

The fact that you can start in safe mode makes me think as a user you have different permissions.
