try going to MyDocuments and deleting the User Preferences.mel
If you are worried about losing it ,make a copy and save it somewhere.
This might cure it.

I guess i tried everything now... pff.. I have this maya 7 running on a windows 2000, and it works perfectly... now.. a few days ago I installed it on a Windows XP home edition...

and there maya just stops running while starting up.. again without any error messages user added image

-I tried to set up the compability with win 2000... nothing

-I tried to let maya run under 256 colors.. there it starts up but the image view doesn't work..( if i render something, it renders it, so it means it is there, but I can't see anything)

is this XP typical issue..

system:- 64 mb graphics ( intel)
-3 ghzprocessor
-1 gig ram

I'm having a similar problem: When i start Maya (PLE 7.0.1), the splash screen shows up and loads the program, then it crashes to desktop popping up the standard windows error for when a program crashes.. (The error report thing). I'm running Windows XP pro Norwegian on an amd 1,3 GHz cpu / 1GB ddr ram / radeon 9600 pro.

Any suggestions for a solution? user added image
