I have just bought a copy of Bones Pro. I have been following through the instructions. When I get to the point where I use Program/KXP Loader/BONES instead of the Bones Pro Dialog box appearing I get; BONES.RED Not Found then back out to the keyframer. In other words, I can't use the software. I ran the install program without any problems so I don't know why this should happen. Any Suggestions ? I rang the company, but was told that all the technical lines were busy, and that it would take some time to get back. Its already 10PM here in the UK so I thought that I would drop you a line here. Incidentally I paid the new $495 price for the software. I rang to get details three weeks ago but a guy called Jeff Teachwort never sent me them as promised. I rang again last week, got Lazina to fax me the details, and left an order the following day. She was very helpful and extremely efficient. Unfortunately I only discovered that night (whilst browsing Compuserve) that I had missed the price increase deadline. Don't you just hate people who complain all the time? Marks out of 10? Jeff Teachwort 0/10. Bones Pro….? Lazina 10/10. Oh okay, to be fair, the LenZFX demo is excellent 10/10. Yours courteously, Gary.

Hi Gary, I understand from Mike that your Bones problem has been solved. Jeff has been flogged and appropriately repremanded. LaVina appreciates the fact that you think she's a ten. David – Digimation

In my book, LaVina's an 11! <g> -Alan

Alan, She REALLY appreciates that. I think you made her day. Of course I didn't tell her what (g) means. I told her it meant Grrreat. David

Well, she certainly deserves it. LaVina is an extremely pleasant person and must be very nice to associate with. She kinda reminds me a bit of my own Debbie. And anyone who knows Debbie knows that that is a real complement! And in this case, <g> meant only that I was smiling when I typed it — not that I wasn't serious about saying she's an 11 'cause she is! -Alan PS -Come to think of it, I can think of quite a few female counterparts of 3D-oriented friends that are Very Impresive People. AndreaM, SusanP, IreneF, come to mind…

Flattery will get you everywhere! :^) And I agree with your list, also, including your Debbie! Greg Pyros

Don't forget that she's a hell of a skiier! (g) This is one of the most important qualities of a good woman in today's world… (See, I do actually read messages in this forum!)

Alan, Boy I can't even think of a better complement from you about LaVina than saying she reminds you of your Debbie. …and tell Debbie that next time she needn't ask if I want a hug…that's a given! I'll print your message for Irene to read, she'll be happy to be included in that "3D wives" roundup. Ralph

<<I understand from Mike that your Bones problem has been solved>> Yes!!! And very quickly too. Thanks for your help David. I was really impressed with both your persistence and the speed with which you arranged for Mike to help me out. It turned out to be a problem that was quite easily rectified. It seems that it is likely to be an unusual problem caused by my particular combination of software and hardware. The software did not appear to be able to see my BONES.RED file in the PROCESS subdirectory. By copying it into the 3DS root directory it ran first time. It is an excellent peice of software. Just from my brief experience I can see it opening up a whole new area of dynamic object modelling for me. The preview window is particularly good, with colour coding for the area of action of indvidual bones (if required). There is obviously a lot of work gone into the product. Thanks again, Gary
