Modeler won't run in Y2Kpro on SGI320...

[chipriggs]

I need a little help.

I'm running Windows 2000Pro with the latest updates on an fairly stock SGI 320VWS with 512Mb of ram. When I go to launch the Modeler it gets to the splash screen then quits out. The Animator and Amorphium work fine but for some reason the Modleler just won't run. I've tried reinstalling everything a couple times but to no avail. I'm wondering if the crashing has something to do with the SGI's Cobalt graphics chipset or if it's something with Windows? I've tried setting the video chipset a couple different ways but that doesn't seem to help either. I'm pretty stuck at this point so any input would be gladly appreciated. Thanks.

I couldn't get the Modeler from the original 3DTK release (PC Version) to work either... it would constantly crash.
I upgraded to the "Crossgrade" version, and now it doesn't appear to crash on startup, but the tutorials in the 3DTK are still messed up... specifically, the image maps in the background don't appear as they should, so I have not got very far on the tutorials except for viewing the QuickTimes.

My system: BOXX Technologies 3DBOXX workstation, Dual 933MHz Pentium III Xeon, 1Gig RAM, 90 Gigs disk, ELSA Gloria II.

I'm using the crossgrade version of the 3DTK. Up to this point I've been using it on my trusty old B/W G3 450 but I figured that since SGI practically invented openGL that it should run pretty sweet on the 320. Ha, that's what I get for thinking.
