If trueSpace is installed in another directory, Render to File produces an 'incorrect file type' error. Install trueSpace in (say), c:\apps\truspace and try render-to-file on any object or scene. A message box with the above error pops up. Now if we move the directory to c:\, then everything works normally. Is there a workaround for this problem if we cannot move the directory up one level (as in our case) ? We need a fix badly and urgently! I've something due on 5/15!

Hope this helps, Rob

I've always ensured that the filetype is correct and that the extension is specified under the filename. Let me check again. Ram
