Troubleshooting - Failed to save Scene before system failure

See also Troubleshooting Startup Problems

There is no one solution to this error. For some users, runonce.bat fixes the problem. For others, it is uninstalling QuickTime, and for others, reinstalling the graphics card driver.

  • Run Application\bin\runonce.bat.
  • Rename your Users folder (for example, rename C:\users\steve\Softimage\XSI_5.11 to C:\users\steve\Softimage\XSI_5.11.bak).
  • Reinstall the driver for your graphic card
  • Uninstall QuickTime (especially if you are running QuickTime + iTunes).
  • Delete any crash backup files in your Projects: look for folders like "Project-name\system\user-name\CrashBackup" and delete (or move) any crash backup files you find.
