I got the same problem with mine.
A double buffering trouble.

I would be interested to know the solution if you got it.

No I still can't get it to work i have tried a leadtek DDR and a Annihaltor Pro DDR card. I then tried Houdini with windows 2000 and both cards worked. Thats the only fix I came up with so far.

I have rather old copy of houdini (3.1), single processor celeron 400 and TNT card. Things are rather slow... no let me refrace that: Things are frosen stiff. I think we are talking about the same problem. In the release notes it's written that it works under NT but 2000 hadnt came out yet so will it work under W2000 so I could expirence Houdini on normal speed.
BTW at the moment I can see the refreshline going down the screen for about 3 seconds after every action 8*(

Well houdini, a geforce, and Win2000 work fine together. Although a little buggy but so is houdini 4. I have a friend who ran houdini on a tnt2 in a dual celeron in NT4 fine. Try turning off anti-aliased lines that might be the problem it is runing slow. I know in 4 it is defaulted to on, and with my configurations that made a big performance increase. The problem in NT is that houdini crashed trying to open the interface boxes. I can't even open the liceanse information with a geforce in NT. But i have no problem in 2000.

Runs fine for me in Win2k with a Leadtek Geforce2MX with 10.80 refernce drivers. Turn off smooth lines in Houdini and things are good.
