Trouble running Anim8or 0.98 on my lapop under Win 7

(1/2) > >>

SirBluDanes:
I downloaded the latest version of the Anim8or version 0.98 dated January 23, 2014 to my Dell Inspiron 1545 which is running Windows 7 and has a  Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family  for the graphics.  And I did an update driver but it says it is already up to date.
When I try to run Anim8or I get the dialog box asking if I want Anim8or.exe to make changes to the hard drive on my computer and when I click “yes” nothing happens at all.  I tried to run it as an administrator but it spins for a second like it is trying to open but then nothing at all.  Not even an error message.  Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on what I can do to get this to run on my laptop?

Raxx:
A few things you can try:

Make sure you extracted the Anim8or.exe file instead of running it from within the .zip file

Disable all antivirus programs before running Anim8or, to see if they are getting in the way

Compatibility Settings

* Right-Click the .exe file and go to Properties. Click the Compatibility tab
* Run the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP
* Disable Visual Themes
* Disable desktop composition

SirBluDanes:
Thanks Ray,
I did  do the extract first so I am covered there.
When I tried to do the compatibility diagnostic, Windows came back with the program was incompatible regardless of which prior Windows version I selected so I am not sure what is going on there.
That leaves turning off the anti-virus software which I am not sure exactly how to do since he file was saved to my desktop.  Any suggestions?

SirBluDanes:
I just noticed something else.  I went to uninstall the program and try downloading it again but it was no in the list of installed programs which I found odd.  So, do I need to do something in addition to extracting  the file from WinZip to my desktop?  Do I need to actually install the program?

Claude:
There's no installation program.
Just unzip and run the anim8or___.exe.
