  C4D wont work on my windows 7 pc ?

  Posted by Lee Mcconville on July 17, 2011 at 10:41 pm

  I have downloaded and installed 4 different links to a c4d app and none of them work on my windows 7 computer ?
  They all let me download and install the program and when I go to open it I get this https://screensnapr.com/v/lQPaaI.png ?
  I am really frustrated with this and would appreciate any help.
  Thank You

  This is usually an OpenGL problem. What video card are you using?

  Try holding down Ctrl + Shft when starting Cinema to open it up in software (non-OGL) shading mode.

  Bummer. But I think the graphics card is the culprit.

  Just thinking out loud here…

  Two quick questions: have you been able to install it on a machine NOT running Windows 7? Might be totally off on this, but is it possible it is an administrative rights problem? If it is the first time it is being run, it would try to write a prefs file, correct? I’m just thinking maybe it isn’t allowing Cinema to do that.
