Common Issues & Solutions

Installation script won't run on Windows

Solution: Right-click the .bat file and select "Run as Administrator". If Windows Defender blocks it, click "More info" then "Run anyway".

"CUDA out of memory" error

Solution: Lower your image resolution. Start with 512x512 instead of 1024x1024. Close other GPU-intensive applications.

Browser window doesn't open automatically

Solution: Manually open your browser and go to http://localhost:7860

Generation is very slow

Solution: Make sure you're using your GPU, not CPU. Check that NVIDIA drivers are up to date. Reduce image dimensions or sampling steps.

License key invalid error

Solution: Copy the license key directly from your email (don't type it). Make sure there are no extra spaces. Contact support if issue persists.

Mac: "Cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer"

Solution: Right-click the file, hold Option key, click "Open", then confirm. Or go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy and click "Open Anyway".
