Houdini problem

Hi,
I have just started learning Houdini & facing a problem with the software. It works fine until i minimize the window & when i maximize it again the Houdini interface becomes black & doesn’t even close I have to go to the task manager to close it. This happens everytime I try to close a file & open a new file also.

Anyone having a solution for this do let me know.

Thanks.
