Skin Viewer - Still Not Working

[Bizman]

Have you installed the motherboard drivers? The "standard" system device drivers dating from 2009-2010 made me wonder... The latest drivers are available at Lenovo's site, http://support.lenovo.com.

Still scratching my head as to what could be the issue.

Hmmmm.  In the games "Video Settings", what video card is shown to be used?  This is really a stretch.

It ran before with those drivers.  I am trying to update them at Lenovo.  Feels like a Win7 update...   Waiting...waiting...

Shows my card.    This is weird.  It was working fine under Beta.   This video card is better than the one I was using then...

Can I bring this thing by the office and have you look at it?   Lol

[Skuzzy]

I doubt there is much I could do.  None of this makes any sense.  No one else is having this trouble.

Hitech gave me a computer virus.   

1) How many people with my card are even using the Viewer?

2) Is there a standalone installer for the Viewer?

3) Is there some sort of vid card setting that needs to be enabled or software?

I took some more screenshots.     The only things I can see are shrubs and trees (not even the full object, just a shadowed outline).

There goes my skinning career I guess.  Grrrrrrr.

Does DirectX do anything with the Viewer?

I asked this before but you didn't answer. Are you running the skin viewer in the default game folder or have you moved it?

The skin viewer is not a stand alone utility.  It has to be run from the game installation folder as it depends on the same resources the game executable does.

I missed that one or forgot to respond, sorry.   It is in the default folder.  I have even opened that folder and clicked the executable directly just to be sure. 

My default I believe is c://HiTechCreations/Aces High III but I will have to double check.  I let it install where it wanted.

Does it access anything like DirectX?   Maybe I have something screwed up elsewhere. 

I just saw an NVidea hotfix.   May have to give that a try.  So frustrating.

It uses all the same computer resources as the game.  DirectX is a big part of it.

Okay.  Let me try fooling with DirectX.

I installed it again on a separate drive with the default folder.  Same issue. 

I am thinking it is my card.  I am getting strange effects with skins in game, too.  That card wasn't cheap.  Grrrr.
