Subject: Having Major Problems With Carrara 5!
Have you made sure you have the latest version of both DirectX and your video card drivers? It may seem odd but a lot of programs you wouldn't think would care; actually will have major problems with some video drivers and hardware. For instance Paint shop pro will not install at all on some systems with a dual core AMD Athlon64 AND the latest NVidia forceware video drivers, so you have to install the beta drivers for it to work. I know because it happened to me. :) C5 is pretty picky too from what I can tell. If a full reinstall doesn't help check the drivers and such.

I have installed Carrara 5...but when I try to use it, all I am getting is "unknown error when opening ____" The blank includes "new","object","sky"...everything I try to do brings up this message. I am on a PC with Windows XP SP2, with Pentium 4 CPU 2.60 GHz and 3.62 GB of RAM. Can't seem to find out what my graphics card is. I have tried repairing Carrara, but it didn't help. I don't know if it would help uninstalling, then re-installing. The program will not even bring up the toolbars. Please help!
