Try reinstalling HMT3.5

Yep, I got that one, and the fix is, INSTALL Direct X 9. I had this for the longest time and it set me way back in model hacking, I have old computers and W98SE, had DX8,but would not work and got that message,installed DX9 and there they where, nice views of the models. I had not found anything saying that you need DX9 , with HMT ,but it fixed both the computers that I work on. Have FUN

hey thanks for the tip, now the error i am getting says "error" and in the title bar it just says ModeLib. this happens when i click on anything under the model tree to try and see its properties on the right. any ideas?

Darn I thought I might have you fixed up, but I don't know now. I have one other computer that does this too, it has XP on it but gives the same error. The only thing I can think of is,my 2 main computers that work,have 3D video cards,and all the drivers for them installed, might need something updated, OR I have not read this,but do we need a 3D card to have this work? See now i'm asking the question ,anybody know?

hey thanks for the help man. i found out i can still export the model i just can't see it in HMT but that is not big deal.
Thanks again,
Andrew
