How long is a TEMPorary file temporary?
And, if it should be deleted, who should delete?
For the die hard win 2000 users, there is a problem starting Zbrush 3.5 because of a call to an API funcrtion not supported in Windows 2000 kernel32.dll(AddVectoredExceptionHandler).
A workaround is to use an API wrapper like KDW .
Seems to work on my workstation (Win2K SP4 running under Vmware fusion, Mac Pro) but I haven’t had the time to check it intensively.
Of course “do it at under your own responsibility, no garranty etc. etc.”

You do not need to do anything, ZBrush will delete temp files that are no longer needed.
Sorry, but this is not the case.
This morning (after getting the well known error message about TempFiles yesterday evening) I deleted three files from ZStartup\TempFiles.
Obviously ZBrush did NOT delete these temp files.
So again: will it stay as a workaround to delete temp files by hand?
Thank you.
Are the vmem folder files temporary files? If so, then they are staying during the zBrush.exe indefinite hang that happens every time I attempt to run it.
Again, you do not need to do anything, ZBrush will delete temp files that are no longer needed. If they are not deleted, then they are still needed.
Hi, I’m trying to launch 3.5R2 but it just won’t start and launching freezes.
win xp 32 bit
Q6600
2 gigs of ram
nvidia 7600 gt 256
. I tried to to what is listed in troubleshooting folder, but it gave nothing. Thank you.
On my first attempt at of the install I received the dual error so I ran the vcredist_x86 file in the trouble shoot folder. The I re-ran Zbrush and I recieved the error below.
“ZBrush Executable has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
So today I started over. I uninstalled my virus protection and I uninstalled the C++ redistributed files using the add remove programs and I even reinstalled from the zip file again ZBrush 3.5R2. Then I went and I downloaded the latest vcredist_x86 file from MS and tried to run Zbrush as the Administrator and I still received the same error. (“ZBrush Executable has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”)

I downloaded a trial ver of PSCS4 and it runs on my computer with no problems.
I downloaded a trial ver of AfterEffects CS4 and it does not run - does not run as it needs cess support or cees (forgot the correct spelling)
So I was wondering if there is a conflict of starting ZB3.5r2 because of no cess or cees support.
I’ll recheck the spelling on that.
Well I could not find the correct spelling of cess or cees support.
BTW does ZB3.5r2 work with all ver’s of open gl?
The CPU needs to have SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2). If your have an older CPU, it may not have this feature.
Please check and verify that your CPU has SSE2 (or newer).
ok - I found this
CPUs supporting SSE2
- AMD K8-based CPUs (Athlon 64, Sempron 64, Turion 64, etc)
- AMD Phenom CPUs
- Intel NetBurst-based CPUs (Pentium 4, Xeon, Celeron, Celeron D, etc)
- Intel Pentium M and Celeron M
- Intel Core-based CPUs (Core Duo, Core Solo, etc)
- Intel Core 2-based CPUs (Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, etc)
- Intel Core i7
- Intel Atom
- Transmeta Efficeon
- VIA C7
- VIA Nano
[edit] Notable IA-32 CPUs not supporting SSE2
SSE2 is an extension of the IA-32 architecture. Therefore any architecture that does not support IA-32 does not support SSE2. x86-64 CPUs all implement IA-32. All known x86-64 CPUs also implement SSE2. Since IA-32 predates SSE2, early IA-32 CPUs did not implement it. SSE2 and the other SIMD instruction sets were intended primarily to improve CPU support for realtime graphics, notably gaming. A CPU that is not marketed for this purpose or that has an alternative SIMD instruction set has no need for SSE2.
The following CPUs implemented IA-32 after SSE2 was developed, but did not implement SSE2:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ / 2.16 GHz
I don’t think it supports SSE2.
…was the SP1 !
Now all works fine 
Edit or the SS2 (i had an Amd too) so I try with an Intel
yepp, i have the same problem. AMD Athlon XP 2800+ / 2.09 Ghz and no SSE2. I was looking for some kind of an SSE2 emulator, but no luck and it seems also impossible to emulate it.
Maybe Pixologic should check out the SSEplus Project from AMD http://developer.amd.com/CPU/LIBRARIES/SSEPLUS/Pages/default.aspx
To bad 
so there is no Zbrush 3.5 without upgrading my computer before and this will not be possible in the near future.
After the upgrade dust settles, we will look into the possibility of making a special version of ZBrush3.5 that does not require sse II.
I can’t promise that it will be possible, but I can promise that we will try.
Ok…I get it now…pathetic whining is heard from below my chin…Oh I get it that’s me!
Ok so I need to upgrade my computer!
Well, well, I guess it’s time anyway…
Thanks for the research by all and sundry…

Make a new directory named “vmem” under your zbrush directory.
Also make a new directory named “tempfiles” under your ZStartup directory.
See if that helps.
This has solved my problems on both Vista32 and XP32 system. Having done this, my program starts instantly with no error messages. So much for support assistance. I nominate BEVANS as my friend of the year!
I received a note from support that “tempfiles” was case sensitive and should be “TempFiles”. I would usually ignore that on a windows system, but I believe I also saw something about Zbrush treating some disk space as virtual (memory?) so to be safe, I would use the case sensitive name.
Maybe someone from support can elaborate on that becuase it may apply to a few other folder names.
