Re: Sweet Home 3D does not start for directx issues Not to hijack a thread, but just in case others run into this in the future, today when I started sh3d it repeatedly bombed out with a DirectX/GPU error. As nothing had changed on this machine since February, I knew it was an artifact of some kind. (To be on the safe side, first I reinstalled the video drivers, just in case, but the problem persisted.) I noticed for upon opening sh3d was loading an empty 'recovered' plan. As best I can recall, the program didn't terminate abnormally during my previous session, but for some reason it thought there was an unsaved plan-in-progress extant. When I checked the recovery directory -- [Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\recovery on this XP-based system -- I found several retained plans. Three were tagged 'unrecoverable' but were roughly the size of my current project, about 190 Mb. The fourth and most-recent file, though, was tiny -- about 7 Kb. After deleting it and restarting, the program ran like a charm. |
