Bryce 5 Error

[trugmolly]

HI
I am having probs with Bryce 5. It installs fine but on opening the prog it just hangs on 'finding network data' There is no error msg just hangs there.
I have tried it under xp and Me {both partitions on the same comp}
I am sure that I have had it working before with no probs.. I cannot get as far as the request for serial number window.
Wondered if anyone had had this prob or any ideas what it could be...
I believe it could be something to to with the network rendering.. This comp is not on a network I did try with the network card disabled ..till the same result
Cheers
Peter

I think it uses your unique network adapter mac adress to create the serial, something must be wrong with this process.

either somebody has cracked it badly or its pretty much screwed to begin with.

Er, i dont remember Bryce 5 ever doing something like that. Heck, i dont remember the installer ever checking the network at all.

Are you sure you haven't installed Bryce 5 Lightning by accident? Its the smaller program that you install on extra machines to spread out the work when your rendering animations. If thats not it, then i guess you just have a corrupt version running (or rather, trying to).

And yes, i do use Bryce 5 (legit copy at that).
No, you may not have my serials.

Edit :- just checked, Bryce 5 doesnt even give a 'finding network data' message when loading at any point. It doesnt give any status messages for that matter - you must have installed lightning by accident.

I can sleep now sound in my bed with just my twinge of guilt

I think Bryce5 is a cultural part of life, cause you can easily share your dreams & thoughts with it. If you get it on K-Lite, the file called Bryce5 CD1.RAR or so is ok.
