You should set frame range by using "File", "start", "end", "digit" parameters. Have you ever tried those?

Just keep in mind, unless i put the end frames first i get a crash. Common is to type the start first. So if my start > end frame it just crashes the very moment i input start. And usually houdini starts from frame 1. cheers

Yes, if u have start 0 and end 0, if u go to start and put 1 it crashes. Houdini files start from 1 usually so its very common to change start as first thing.
