Trouble running Anim8or 0.98 on my lapop under Win 7

SirBluDanes:
Thanks Claude,
I didn't think there was and installation program but it never hurts to ask.  I disabled every that Ray said to but it still just spins for a second and then nothing.  What about if I extracted it o a thumb drive and  then tried to run it from here?  Do you think that would work?

Hmm, I run it on my Compaq laptop without any major issues under Win7. Try updating your video drivers with the update feature of Windows. Also try running compatibility mode for XP service pack 3. Keep us informed on your progress though.

DragonSlayer:
The last computer I had was a Fujitsu with an Intel express chipset for it's graphics, and Anim8or would not run on it under any compatibility mode settings. I believe there are quite a few posts throughout the forums of Intel chipsets like that not wanting to work with Anim8or. For that Fujitsu I was just out of luck, though A friend of mine joked I should've run a virtual machine of Linux running Wine to get it working. Hopefully you'll find a way through with your Dell, but I think the problem stems from your Graphics Chipset.

If this is the case though, running it from a flashdrive won't help, the program is crashing during its initialization, not being blocked by the computer. One way I was able verify that was the case for me was to open the task manager after turning off all safety settings (I disconnected from the internet to protect my computer), select the processes tab, make sure it's sorted by alphabet A>Z, then run Anim8or. The process, "Anim8or.exe" should appear for a bit, but then just disappear. This proves the program started running, but crashed at some point before the client appeared, with the computer not interfering for safety reasons.
