General Anim8or Forum / Running Anim8or on 64 bit Windows 7 (sort of)
« on: June 21, 2010, 10:27:29 pm »
Hi, I've been using Anim8or since Windows 98, always ran on every new computer and every new operating system ... until I got my Compaq CQ60-615DX (Intel Celeron 64 bit.) Of course the XP emulator required upgrading to a more Pro version of Windows 7 at $100+, and as I see it it's a pig in a poke, no guarantee that will fix anything. I've tried everything, from latest driver to running in every compatibility mode there is, and no joy.
However, if I run in safe mode (F8 while starting) Anim8or will run. The aspect ration for the screen is off, but I can adjust that later in Poser for instance. Of course this requires rebooting every time I want to run Anim8or, which is a pain.
I am assuming that something in the non-essential services or maybe even the video driver is the culprit but I'm not sure how to go about narrowing it down. I have turned off services one-by-one and that doesn't arrive at a configuration that will run Anim8or ... I don't know if I'm asking for help or offering advice at this point. But this is my story for what it's worth.
Thanks for the time,
