-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] TBH I am not sure exactly. I believe it stopped working after I threw away my perfectly functioning XP installation and installed Vista D: I generally code and haven't used the other SDK tools very much in the last year or so, but my current mod project is ramping up and I am using Model Viewer almost daily, so the impact is much more significant...I have read many other accounts of people with the same issue however some have been resolved with driver updates whilst others are unresolved.
The programmer in me thinks that the crash could be worked around in the MV/FP tools window initialization code, but I don't expect Valve to spend their time writing workarounds for dodgy drivers/api's... deegz On 29/10/2007, at 1:28 AM, "Tony \"omega\" Sergi" wrote: > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > when exactly did the problem start? > > > On 10/28/07, Chris Deegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> -- >> [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >> >> Thank you all for your replies.
