Anim8or and Windows 7
bigsprings0069:
I have Win 7 with a 64 bit, and everything worked fine, for a while. Now nothing will work. File will not open in any compatability or as administrator. Not sure what is going on. I have checked all drivers, and have not noticed any updates that would affect the use of Anim8or. I am not very profficient with computers so, I have missed something.
SirBluDanes:
I'm having the exact same problem.

For those of you with nvidia cards, you can try going here: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers
This site supplies the latest drivers possible that you won't find on the nvidia.com website. It requires a little bit of advanced windows usage. I go to this site all the time to get the latest and greatest ;)
Quick guide on how to find your dev and subsys IDs and install the drivers:
* Click the start menu open
* In the search/run field, type "devmgmt.msc" and press enter
* In the Device Manager, expand the "Display adapters" item, right click your graphics card and go to properties
* In the properties window that comes up, go to the Details tab and click on Hardware IDs in the drop down menu
* Use the first line to find your dev and subsys IDs, plug them into the appropriate fields on the website
* Tick your operating system and press Filter
* When the results come up, click on the latest one you want to install, and then download both the driver and the modified INF file
* When downloaded, extract the driver into a folder on your desktop, and then drag and drop the nv_disp.inf file into that folder. It should replace an INF that already exists
* Run Setup.exe from that folder and follow through with the installation. Restart and hope it works (either way you've updated your drivers to the best you can get, which is a good thing)
Obvious note: If you don't have an nvidia graphics accelerator, doing this won't help you at all

Anybody have any ideas for Intel users? If the labeling on my laptop didn't say Toshiba then I would swear Intel built this thing considering that is all this comp uses!

I recently bought an HP G60-535 Notebook with duel core Intel processors. All of my programs work on here including DAZ 3D, Celestia, Orbiter (Space Flight Simulator), and Terragen 2. For my main 3D program though I've always enjoyed Anim8or. It doesn't work and at first did nothing when i tried to open it, but after downloading the latest driver for series 4 processors it now opens but only shows a white screen in the main window. All buttons show and it will even show the materials if I select the materials button up top. Just for a test I opened one of my files and though I couldn't see it in the object window I managed to switch to perspective view still not seeing it pressed render and rendered it. Still couldn't see it, but saved the picture as a bitmap and viewed the finished picture with my picture viewer. It came out perfect. My operating system is Windows 7, and I believe this is due to Intels chips since everything else works fine. Its probably in the Open GL from what I've benn reading from others. I'm going to try to include my computer info on here and a description of my graphics settings so that Steve or someone else might be able to work out the problem.
