12 years ago --- Quote Start --- I'm trying to get Modelsim 10.1b (Starter/free edition) running on my PC. I'm running on a clean installation of Windows XP SP3. When I click on Modelsim, the splash screen appears for several seconds and then disappears and the application never loads. Quartus, on the other hand, loads and runs fine on the same computer. Any suggestions? I can provide more information if requested. --- Quote End --- I am facing this same issue. Things I've tried: 1.) Used a fresh XP-SP2 install, with/without internet connectivity thinking there may possibly be some hidden registration problem. Same result (failure to obtain a license) 2.) Tried 12.0, 12.1 & 13.0. All failed via same "license failures". 3.) Went to Windows7-64bit. Quartus & Modelsim work correctly. Unfortunately I need XP-32bit due to ByteBlaster compatibility. After +12 hours, I'm frustrated. Does anyone have any suggestions?
