Getting Radiosity up and running

Just upgraded to 7.0.1 from 5.5.  Everything seems good so far. However when I load any of the Radiosity projects Camera does not seem to see the solution and only renders objects illuminated by traditional lights.  I could be missing something simple as I am new to Radiosity and the new software but I’ve loaded all of the tutorial projects and read through the manual and can’t seem to find anything I’m not doing.  Also, I’ve also tried to recalculate the solutions but the Radiosity engine keeps crashing.  I’m sure this is just a matter of working out the glitches in a new install but I’m not sure where to begin troubleshooting.  Any suggestions?

I strongly suggest you use the GI system instead of the older radiosity engine. Almost no one is using the Radiosity engine any longer
since it is slower and produces results that are inferior to the GI engine. In addition, the GI system is much easier to control.
