Hi all!
This is not really a bug, but a thing i stumbled upon, and could not resolve myself.
I can’t call up ROOT or show up patch structure.
The only thing i see is a button on the taskbar (VVVV) and the DX9 renderer window if it is present in the patch.
pressing ALT-2 hides renderer window forever and the patch window itself is nowhere to be seen 8(
The funniest thing is it happens both to beta9 and beta10 on my desktop, but both of them behave as expected on my laptop.
Any clues?
Thanks!
ja, this sounds like some initialization is not taking place on startup. have you started vvvv at least once with administrator privileges on the desktop?
have you started vvvv at least once with administrator privileges on the desktop?
yes, i did, even several times.
i also tried uninstalling 2 or 3 times and deleting args.txt;
none of these helped.
What does the the following message appearing during uninstall mean?
DllUnregisterServer in bin\AddFlow3.ocx failed.
Return code was: 0x80040201
I suspect this OCX can not be registered as well and that is the real cause of the “ROOT not showing up” thing.
Thanks!
according to google the 0x80040201 error means: “Unable to obtain server’s security context”. which still can mean a lot. are you still administrator while trying to uninstall?
i think we had at least 3 reports now of people not being able to register AddFlow3.ocx and still we have no idea what that could be caused by. hm…i’d need to get my hands on such a machine to probably be able to find something…
only out of interest can you try the new startup flag with beta12? start vvvv.exe with /logstartup from a commandline and there should be a .log file placed next to the .exe. which you could post here.
shure, i will try it tonight, thanks.
here are two startup logfiles - one from my desktop and another from my laptop (which works fine with vvvv).
the only difference i’ve found so far is that AddFlow3 can not be registered on the desktop.

I am having this same problem, it will run the args.txt properly, however cannot pull up the root. Hotkey seem to work also.
I have directx 9.0c from December 06
@ Joerg if you would like to troubleshoot on the computer i having problems with I can let you remote it.
I have attach the “invisible root” log file
Also, I have a laptop where, VVVV launches properly, but it does not launch the default args.txt. It just shows blank grey renderer…
Any help would be greatful

@guest.
sory, seem to have missed your last posting. but looking at the log files now gives me no further clue. vvvv seems to startup correctly on both your machines.
@nui
also your .log file looks good.
it will run the args.txt properly, however cannot pull up the root.
how do you know it runs args.txt properly? any renderers popping up? if you delete args.txt just no window shows up?
Hotkey seem to work also.
which?

a grey renderer suggests a graphiccard/driver problem. which card which driver? which DDI version? (read how to find out about your drivers DDI-Version in this thread
regarding remoting…lets meet in #vvvv on ircnet if nothing else helps.
I fixed the laptop issue last night, it was my video card drivers.
Still no luck with the invisible root, joreg, what is the irc server?
If not i am on AIM @ naturalui
here is a list of ircnet servers near you
I fixed the laptop issue last night, it was my video card >>drivers.
good to hear.
Still no luck with the invisible root…
you mean the problem persists on your desktop machine?
Yes Joreg I fixed laptop, still issues on desktop.
I am on us.ircnet.org in #vvvv if you would like to discuss…
Thanks, Chris
helo nui.
i am an online most of the day…will see…
meanwhile read my last posting to a similar thread
hi, i have had the same problem, no root shown up at beginning, even tough i tried alt+r, Given that i’m an architect and i have just a vague idea about directx, activex, directshow and company…
I solved the problem backing up my system to three days ago…
now everything goes ok.
the only thing i changed on my machine in these three days was to download this software (Super) to convert movies.
I think the problem could be this software and its strange/bully/overbearing usage of directshow??
it’s just a heretical supposition, but i don’t trust on Super.
Do you know more, guru?tx
i only remember that i once installed super and just right deinstalled it again because i didn’t like it at all. and it didn’t uninstall clean. bäh. no go.
i kinda doubt that super is coming in vvvvs way. i have it running on several machines without troubles. considering you are an architect maye you have installed/updated 3d studio max recently which we already know causes such troubles?!
no, i don’t, i am a blender user, never had problems with that.
I installed just super, no updated done, i use dx 9.0c, windows xp, and the last vvvv. The only thing i know now is to stay away from Super.
