 With this error you cannot create an empty project and also you can't browse the recently opened projects in TIBCO Designer startup window.

Timeout waiting for correct number of process responses - issues related to TIBCO Iprocess

Timeout waiting for correct number of process responses Solution: 

When you handle this situation while starting tibco iprocess engine. check the status of ipengine by entering the command in command prompt

Go to start->Run->cmd
and enter
now type:
cd\
and go to this path
c:\swserver\staffw_nod1\util\swadm show_processes

If any of your process status is shutting down then type this below command and it will start the process which was been shutdowned
c:\swserver\staffw_nod1\util\swsvrmgr START MachineID SPO  

If still it hasn't started, Restart your system and start the command prompt 

c:\swserver\staffw_nod1\bin\swstart -p 
Now it will start all the processes, like this. 

Note: staffw_nod1 is the node cluster under which you have installed the iprocess engine. if this doesn't match your node cluster change the path to your node cluster. 

This could happen when the iprocess engine was terminated unexpectedly (power failure) or if you failed to stop the ipengine before shuting down your windows.
