MY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:<br>
=============================================================<br>
The paraview distributions from both 07/07 and 07/11, which I built on my
Windows XP laptop, failed almost immediately upon starting. This
happens whether I run "paraview.exe" or
"pvclient.exe". (These are the two I use on my
laptop.)<br><br>
I did not have this problem under Linux (at least for the 07/11
dist.).<br><br>
Here is the trace from one of them from Vis Studio:

</dl>Vis Studio marked the following statement as the one in error:
<dl>
<dd>return
this->NumberOfNestedElements;<x-tab> </x-tab>
<br><br>
</dl>THE FIRST SOLUTION SUGGESTED:<br>
=============================================================<br>
This looks like an error we saw here recently. Most likely, you
have a #LookmarkMacros# and/or a #ParaViewlmk# that is completely empty
in your $HOMEPATH directory (probably C:). These are XML files
associated with lookmarks (a fairly recent addition to ParaView).
If you delete the file(s), everything should run properly again.
Lookmarks are still under development, and we have asked the person
working on them to correct the problem we (and now you) have
seen.<br><br>

<br>
RESULT:<br>
=============================================================<br>
I had the empty #LookmarkMacros# in my "C:/Documents and
Settings/<userid>" directory, but not #ParaViewlmk#.
Deleting it did not work, and it was created again when I ran
pvclient.<br><br>
<br>
THE SECOND SOLUTION SUGGESTED:<br>
=============================================================<br>
Add the line , "<LmkFile/>", to the empty
#LookmarkMacros# file.<br><br>
<br>
RESULTS:<br>
=============================================================<br>
That worked, but now there WAS an empty #ParaViewlmk# file and pvclient
died a bit further on.<br><br>
<br>
SUCCESS:<br>
=============================================================<br>
After adding the line , "<LmkFile/>", to the empty
#ParaViewlmk# file, pvclient ran.<br><br>
