    Help!!!

    Im getting an error message everytime I try and open PI.

    It says “Runtime error! abnormal program termination”.

    I’ve tried reinstalling but nothing seems to be working.

    Any ideas?

    Many thanks

    Kev

    Use “reset default settings” in the Start – Programs – particleIllusion menu.

    If that doesn’t work, your “default” library is corrupted (but this is not likely since you reinstalled).

    Thank you. That worked. However, now I have another problem. I have a library of all my most commanly used emitters but since I fixed that last problem I haven’t been able to open it. I get an error message that reads
    “an attempt was made to access an unnamed file past its end”.
    Any ideas???

    Once again, your help is much appreciated.

    Check in your Library Backups folder if there’s a backup copy saved. It’ll have a funny extension on the end, but you can just change it to .il3 and it should open up.
