 I edited my previous post, it was not clear, it was suppose to be about the use of the mouse in  the current development release - Build 1146.

Concerning the previous two post, Lots of people feel differently about lots of topics, as these two post show. For instance I would have thought it off topic to put in the last two post on this thread. But there you go I am weird that way.

This is were we are having the current Newbie conversation:
Anim8or Community > General Category > General Anim8or Forum > Where can I start?
Thank You,

The MMB shortcut with Alt+RMB is not longer available. Alt is used to switch to Arc-Rotate mode.I had thought about using Shift+RMB or Ctrl+RMB but those are needed for other functionality. As it stands now you need a 3-button mouse.
Aw...
I really think the combo is needed. Not everyone has three button mouse (yes, that's rare but it happens) or someone may use laptop without a mouse. Or it may be just like in my case - broken MMB. And I don't really have ime to completely disassemble this thing to soilder a new button.
Or at least an option to select it. Really, pushing CTRL+R is not that long to change to arc-rotate mode.

I think it needs an option in figure mode to set how an object is mirrored when added to a scene. the automatic mirroring causes some frustrating problems.

Running 1148 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, admin privileges. If you select "Remember Window Location" in the settings, then maximize window, then close it and reopen it, it crashes 2 times in a row. If you change the registry entry to say that it was not maximized, it works again.

I can always replicate it, that's weird. Maybe there's some info I am not giving? Using GeForce 430 GT also. Uploading exported registry settings (as txt file), in case it was some other option that caused it as well.

danielstritt: Can you start Anim8or from a command window with the parameter -traceinit and post the output?

C:\Users\Steve\MyApps\Anim8or\anim8or_1148.exe -traceinit

I don't know how much help it will be, but this is all it shows, then exits.

Yes, it's helpful. The main window creation failed.  I'll add some more trace messages fro the next update to show a bit more of what's going on.  I think I can recover from it an create a normal (i.e. not maximized) window instead. I'll let you know when something is ready to try.

danielstritt: That was easier that I thought. Give this a try build 1148plus and can you post the -traceinit log?

Note: you don't have to do a screen capture - click on the little red bird in the upper left corner of the text output window, select the Edit->SelectAll command and the the Edit-Copy command you can copy all the output as text.

A little more info this time. Output:

begin: InitInstance()
       creating main window.
       GPreserveWindowLocation = true.
       GIsMaximized = true.

It appears that Windows 8 is dying in the CreateWindow() call. It never returns. At this point in the code there is only a 1-bit difference in the style parameter to CreateWindow() between a maximized window and a normal one. I'm not sure what to do next - I'll search for something else to try. I could always disable full screen mode for Windows 8.

I'm not very familiar with the win32 api,
but how about creating the window not full screen,then
using ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE);
Might have to use it twice.
Worth a try ?
