Ernie, I have forwarded your message to the AASTUDIO product manager as well. Here are some responses: <<[1] I am an Animator Pro user who ordered Animator Studio then, before it shipped, started reading messages saying that it just, flat out, would not run under Windows 95.>> This is correct, to the best of our (product support's) knowledge. <<[2] I also read a reply to a message that you apparently sent another user but I missed, that the $295 migration program to AS is a limited time deal>> No. That is the standard upgrade from Animator Pro. It will not expire. The limited time deal was if you had purchased Animator Pro after we officially announced Animator Studio, you got an even better price (I think $150.). <<nd, if I order it but can't use it until you upgrade it to at least WIN32S, which oughta run w/ W95>> I don't know how the upgrade from AASTUDIO to a newer version of AASTUDIO will happen. I don't have any information on future releases of the product. Sorry. << 2) And, (please give a straight answer here if at all "possible") will it run _at all_ under W95, or is it completely out of the question?>> The straight answer is…I don't think so. (I know, that doesn't sound very straight.) The bottom line is, we (Prod Supp) haven't tested WIN95. It is an unsupported platform. That means the information about running AASTUDIO with WIN95 comes from other users like yourself. All those users have said they can't get it to work. <<Please give me some guidance with this issue.>> Ah Grasshopper, you seek knowledge and guidance. I just don't have enough information myself to guide you. << I have to say that, IMHO, this has been a very big mistake on ADESK's part. All "good" w3.1 products now use WIN32S and, for the life of me, I can't figure out why y'all would release a "cutting edge" product that uses out-of-date 16 bit technology.>> I have forwarded this statement (and others like it) to the product manager. << No hard feelings intended,>> None taken, we always appreciate constructive criticism. -Brian
