Hello there,
One of our designer cannot run Rhino anymore. The splash screen hangs on ‘Preparing viewports’ for a minute and then the process crashes abruptly (no beach ball screen).
When running in Safe mode, we get two messages regarding LoadModule and RhinoRender.rhp
This started happening after a graphics driver upgrade.
And here is the SystemInfo output :
