#Animator Studio Upgrade
6 messages in this thread
I called Autodesk today to check on the shipping status of the Animator
Studio update and the individual I spoke with said it was not shipping for
several weeks. I was under the impression from this forum that is was shipping
now, and automatically to registered users. I need the update soonest as I
cannot run the program at all under Win 95 (Flipper error) and hate the concept
of putting Win 3.1 back on my computer to allow dual booting. Since I have an
ongoing project I need to get back to work on I will do that if there is no
alternative. Is there a work around for the Flipper error? Did I ask the
customer service rep the wrong question – I didn't know what the new version
number was?
Thank you for your help,

To appease flipper, create a swap file as large as possible "after cleaning up
your hard drive". By large I mean 4 times RAM if you have the space. AAS wants
as much RAM, Swap and hard drive space you can afford. Woops, let me reiterate,
it seems any more than 32 meg of RAM doesn't do a lot more than help increase
your swap file size.

Regarding Fliper error,
in AS,
are you saying creating a large win 95 swap file elimates the flipper error.
also how do you go about creating a swap file for AS in WIn 95
thx

there is an update for the Win3.x version which cures most of the flipper
errors we have seen. this update is currently available. the Win95 version will
be out soon and i highly recommend if you haven't done so already to get your
AAS registration information in to Adesk so that you receive the Win95 version
asap. it seems very stabel so far too.

Karen,
I called Adesk today and asked the same question and got the same answer. I
told them of the posts here and they went off to check it out. After some
persistance on the phone I got somebody to agree to ship the upgrade ASAP. They
say it should be in dealers hands by the end of the week at the latest.
Call them back and be persistant, it worked for me. I was in on the Win 95
betat testing so AStudio has essentially not worked since I got it….
Cheers,
Tom
