XSI hanging at Startup 2005-06-10 - By Bernard Lebel
Back
Thanks everyone for the replies.
It seems I fixed it. Like I said I removed all addons (except
shaders), wich helped a lot, but not complete. I noticed errors like
"Cannot find command handler for blah blah blah". Then I reinstalled
one of the addons, removed it immediately, and no more problem, XSI
stats in a breeze.
Go figure.
