okay. i've searched untill my eyes hurt. there seems to be no help on the net without asking the question myself, so here goes. i have ripped all of the models from the games, both I and II, now my problem lies with modelviewer. i really don't understand it. if i just open modelviewerwxd3d9 (from now on refered to as mv2) alone, it opens and functions just fine. 3d model ripper runs fine. everything is fine.......... UNLESS I TRY TO RUN THEM TOGETHER!!!!!:yelling::guns:>(HATE! i have one of the newest computers on the market, and run windows 7. if my video card doesn't meet the requirements, then noones does, so it's not that. i has a ton of ram. so that isn't a problem. and, like i said, both programs will start just fine. when i start them together on my computer, it doesn't do anything at all.... period. when i start it on my dad's xp laptop, it says that the program had to close or something like it. and i know that the programs will work with eachother just fine because i ran it on my friend's laptop and managed to get some models converted but i can't exspect to use my friends compter forever, can i? so any help out there? oh, and i've tried changing the compatability of the program to xp as well. didaly squat.
