For anyone involved with Autodesk 3D Studio, etc… 1) Is 3D Studio MAX for Windows NT runnable on Win 95? I had NT 3.51 and hated that thus far it's incompatible with alot of stuff, so I now have 95. 2) Is there currently, or in development, a 32-bit .FLC/.FLI player? My old Win 3.11 player give errors all the time running Win 95 (it did also under Win 3.11) Just curious…. Steve

<<1) Is 3D Studio MAX for Windows NT runnable on Win 95?

My old Win 3.11 player give errors all the time running Win 95 (it did also under Win 3.11)>> The problem with WIN95 (and WIN NT while we are at it) is that the Windows player is a 16 bit application, and was not written for a 32 bit environment. Thus the player should start under these platforms, but it is very slow. very,very, slow. (did I mention how slow it is?) At present, Autodesk has not released a 32 bit version of the Windows player, so there is no current work around if you want to use an Autodesk player. -Brian
