Suddenly, no more renderings!

Greetings, all:
I went to render a view of my little model today, and NOTHING happened. Hardly sounds like news, to have nothing happen, but it is. Out of the blue, and I don't believe I changed anything. This is true when I try to use the Internal, Z-buffer, LightWorks and Sketch engines.
Still weirder, this is happening to my coworker as well.
I have attached a screenshot of the nothing.
Any help is MUCH appreciated!
Best,
John

Does 3D window come up o.k.? Have you checked PhotoRender settings, in particular, image size? Does Factory Settings button do anything for you?

Did you try all of the "normal" troubleshooting like:

1. Reboot
2. Repair permissions
3. Does this problem persist with any file you try to render?
4. Does it happen on all other computers in your office using the same file?
5. Have you checked that you have the latest ArchiCAD updates installed?
6. Have you updated something else on the computer recently that may have caused this behavior?

I'm shooting in the dark, but I don't know if the latest QuickTime update has caused problems like this.

It seems to be file-specific: another model I have works fine, on the same computer...I will re-check some settings.

Thank you all for your kind suggestions; unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to test them...as...
I restarted the software, and that didn't fix it; I rebooted the computer and that didn't do it, either; a day passed, I worked with a different model, which DID render properly; I then tried the original model, which then ALSO DID render properly.
I don't know what settings may have been shifted but something seemed to work.
Again, thank you.
