I just got the Animator STudio 1.1 upgrade for Win95. I'm just wondering, is 1.1 also supose to run under NT?

Thanks, Dave.

I will confirm that. I've used it very successfully on NT 3.51, although I haven't stressed it as much as I do on Win95. John

PMFJI, I contine to use AAS 1.1 in NT everyday. However, I gotta stress that 1.1 has been tested primarily for Win95. There are still some issues that need to be worked out in order for AS to work _fully_ in NT. Sorry if some of this has been mentioned already, but I'm just hopping around threads. 🙂 Jh

hi Jeremy! long time no see here. 🙂 yes… we have stressed that r1.1 was not written for NT… but it does seem very stable under NT so far. i've had several postings from the locals who use NT that they are happy with it so far and boy is it fast! will you be at Autodesk University this next week? would enjoy visiting. -dave

Dave, This is *very* confusing. Depending on who you talk to AS will/will not/maybe a little run on NT. I have the update version, but not the Windows 95 version yet. Are you saying that I could install that one under NT? Can I also use the 95 (IF that one *ever* gets here) version with NT too? I would really like to get everything eventually operating under NT and just skip Windows 95 if at all possible. You think that day will ever come? And why in the world did Autodesk go in the NT direction with MAX and 95 with AS? (That was just wondering outloud) Baffled, Terry

"This is *very* confusing. Depending on who you talk to AS will/will not/maybe a little run on NT." AAStudio 1.1 was not tested on Windows NT. NT customers seem to be reporting that the 1.1 version runs on NT for them. But Autodesk has to say it's not supported if a bug is reported that causes AAStudio to fail on NT but not on Win95, for example. "I have the update version, but not the Windows 95 version yet." Call 800/538-6401 and ask them to send you the 1.1 version. "Are you saying that I could install that one under NT? Can I also use the 95 (IF that one *ever* gets here) version with NT too?" The "95 version" is called AAStudio 1.1. This is the only one that has half a chance of working under NT for you. I'd say give it a go! If you run into a problem, maybe we can resolve it without it being an NT issue.

Nik, Thanks a lot, I will give them a call tomorrow. Terry

see Nik's response. the AAS picture for NT users is simple… r1c0 (original) … no go. r1c1 (first patch) … no go. r1.1 (win95 compatible) … possibly. -dave

Dave, I did, and I will call tomorrow for the 1.1. Thanks, Terry

Glad to be back…well, sort of. I'm preparing for AU. Yes, I'll be there. Instructing no less! Let's definitely get together. Of course, there's always the speaker reception. Jh
