Revit 2010/2011 Startup Crash

I have tried installing both Revit Architecture 2010 and 2011 multiple times, but they both lock-up/freeze when it gets to the "recent files" screen.
When I try clicking on anything in the Revit window it just makes the default windows warning/alert chime.

My system:
Windows 7 Ultimate
AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core 2.51GHz
4 GB RAM
ATI HD4870 1Gig

Any ideas on how to get Revit to work?

I thought Autodesk monitored this forum?

I really need help here.

hi Marklip

 

Try ro go to your Revit.ini file (copy it so you have a backup)

should be somewhere like \Program Files\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Program\Revit.ini

Edit the file in notepad

Finde [Recent File List] and [Recent Workset List] in the file and delete all between .. save and restart Revit

Hi KEA,

 

I looked at the revit.ini file like you said, but there was no line like [Recent Workset List]. I'm assuming it is because I haven't even been able to to get Revit to open initially. I haven't even been able to activate any of the installations of Revit because it just freezes before it gets that far.

 

I even tried adding the line "DisplayRecentFilesPage=0", but that didn't even help.

I had a feeling that there was something about my Windows 7 installation that was corrupted, so I reinstalled Windows 7 and Revit.

It's working now.  😛
