how do i get this on my new windows 7 computer? i have used anim8or for a very long time in my art class and i love it, but i want to use it at home, only problem is it wont let me because i have windows 7... can anyone help me please? 

[nikolasmantilla]

its called Virtual PC, you need to install virtual PC and thru VPC you will intall Windows XP wich is what Animator seems to run best on.

[pinkpower]

and how do you do that? o.O

[nikolasmantilla]

you basiclly installe Virtual PC, you place a windows XP in your CD drive, create a Virtual drive (OMG it sounds Complicated... but its not. you use a wizard (next next) createate new drive) and you click start, and when you do it it looks like there is a second computer booting up i a window, like checkign ram and everithing. and its very Easy.. if you can install windows iny our computer, you can do Virtual PC.I wish I had one of those Screen recorder softwares to show you. but its Eazy and VPC its free .  dunno if I mentiont hat before

uh, well i googled virtual pc and i found the website for it or something, and i tryed installing it but it wont let me because i have home premium not the pro whatever it is one... so it wouldnt let me, and i have noooo idea what u just said...

[nikolasmantilla]

Try an older Version and see if it lets you.
Virtual PC 2007 Torrent
Download that and install it. I dont think you will have a problem.
You also need a copy of Windows XP

There should be a simpler solution than using a virtual PC. Just follow the steps on the Vista problems page. Vista and Win7 are not much different when it comes to software compatibility.

I'm running Anim8or on Windows 7 (32-bit) without any problems...

[nikolasmantilla]

I run it thru Virtual PC for modeling only, for some reasin it lags and also the drag select does ghosting.. dunno if is Video drivers or what. but I already Updated Video drivers and it keeps doing it.
but it doesnt do it in XP.. I think its becuase it emulating IDK.
SEE! and I tried all of teh 3 things that says there.

I've had the exact same problem with my Vista machine... couldn't find a solution for it so for the time being i'm just gonna live with it.

twould be very good if someone could come up with a solution to the problem.

[pinkpower]

ya its not the same problems as the vista problems, mine downloads fine, its when i try to open it to install it it crashes and closes, i havent tryed the other things everyone has suggested yet, they all sounded confusing i was going to wait till after i backed up all my pictures then ill try it, dont wanna lose anything XD

nikolasmantilla have you tried to enable desktop composition (in properties -> compatibility).

[daniel99]

I perfectly understand you. On my laptop I have Vista, and have the same problem, and can not use attributes also. I believe I will instal XP (my main computer). Vista sucks, and they say it was made only for testing. I had a lot of problems with vista, mallfunction for many programs.
XP rulls!
