re-installing it.. and yes the dll was checked

this time when I started it another window opened as well (before it crashed)and it had writing in it..

Erlang R14B01 (erts-5.8.2) [rq:1] [async-threads:0]

Eshell V5.8.2 (abort with ^G)
1> Trying OpenGL modes
[{buffer_size,32},{depth_size,32},{stencil_size,8},{accum_size,16}]


and it was while looking at this that the program crashed...

That is the werl.exe window. There was a small progress.

I notice you tried to install the version 1.4.1. The window content for this window would be like that:
Code:
Erlang R14B01 (erts-5.8.2) [rq:1] [async-threads:0]

Eshell V5.8.2  (abort with ^G)
1> wings-1.4.1

Using GPU shaders.
and yours is a little different. It stopped before concluding the OpenGL checking/initialization.

Is there any chance you try the wings-1.4.1.137.g5ee2.exe? It has some bug fixes.
Also, did you checked if are you using the latest graphic card drivers? (Information on AMD Mobility Radeon™ Graphics Drivers for Microsoft® Windows®)
I am using the latest.. unless they have come out with new ones the last month.. had to update them just to be able to play wow..
and it still doesnt work Sad
I'm having the exact same issue right down to the read out in the erlang window. The work space window never opens. I have a windows 7 64 bit with an I7 870X CPU and a GTX 670 GPU. I've tried various versions of wings and they all do the same thing as 141 Sad


EDIT: OK, I got it to work YAY!!!! I use skins on my windows OS, I normally disable the skinning of my graphic programs as this can cause glitches for some of them. I had disabled the skinning of Wings 3d .exe, but not werl.exe. Once adding werl.exe to the per application list of windowblinds(skinning software) It worked fine Biggrin
shayna_lynn,
Welcome to Wings3D. Glad you got it working on your system. Also, thanks for sharing your solution. Interesting that skinning software caused the problem. I hope it helps others... Smile

oort
64-bit Wooooo Nice !!! Runs fine for me .. Thank you Thank you Thank you ... got a little problem though ..... I need my plugin back!! Mark, Buddy!! Polygon-Select expand to Charted Region ... I use it so much I have on Keyboard short-cut!!! .. Anything we can do here ??
Justanother ... come to ManifoldLab section. Repost your request.

Yes ... I can get that for you Just another. Or you can go all power-user on my and "TRY" the experimental.tar file and see if it fits you needs. I know that distro has a few items broken for reasons yet TBD. Shape extruder does not seem to like 64 bit context, and I have yet to figure that out ... but I will figure it out soon.
Thanks again!! Great Suggestion!! Now I got the Bomb build ... Most of it seems to work!! gimme a bit, I'll post a vid!!
So far I've had it over 2 million quads. It doesn't crash but after about a million it does get slow! .... Of course I'm on a laptop with only 8G of ram .. but as far as I can tell, It's using both cores and having a much better time on my system than the 32-bit one!! .. Woo hoo, thanks again!! .. this brings up another question though ...... New Post .....
