Inventor 2010 quits before it starts or after splash screen pops up.

[Anonymous]

When I try to start Inventor is attempts to open and shows up in the active processes list for a few seconds.

Sometimes it will quit before the splash screen appears and sometimes a split second after it appears. No error messages or computer lag, it just simply quits. I'll list the steps I've taken so far. (Windows 7 64 bit)

Deleted the Cascadeinfo.cas file

I've had an error when my 3d connexion mouse trys to start so I uninstalled the drivers.

IT guy could open Inventor from his login on my computer but still not with mine.

Deleted Autodesk folder in the AppData folder and deleted the Cascadeinfo.cas again.

Did a "Repair" of Inventor.

Did a "Re-Install" of Inventor.

Nothing has worked yet and the only advice I'm finding is in regards to deleting the Cascadeinfo.cas file.

My thoughts are that the key to this problem is the fact that it works for other users on this machine. I just don't know what it is or how to fix it.

have your IT person recreate your windows user profile since it works under the ITs log in on that machine

I agree with Darren. I would add that you might want to take a look at the license assigned to your machine. Ultimately this all funnels down to your IT department. Especially if others can log on to your machine and use the software.

bnorton,

Is this a desktop or laptop with two different video cards?

If your RAM (Right Mouse Click) on your desktop icon to start Inventor 2010, do you see an option for "Run with Graphics Processor"?

If so, please select "Integrated Graphics".

Please send an update after you have checked this.

Thank you.

Recreating my user profile did the trick. Thanks for the advice.
