Hello,\rTry uninstalling Swift 3D and re-installing it. It may be some faulty DLL that was not loaded properly during the main setup. Also, as a precautionary note, have the latest graphics drivers for your card installed. Try contacting Electric Rain as well, they are the makers of the program and should have some notes on why this error occurs.\r\rI hope that helps. If you have any further questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reply back.\r\rRegards,\rKirupa Chinnathambi\r[kirupa@kirupa.com](mailto:kirupa@kirupa.com) ---

I tried re-installing it. I was told that ver.1.00 had a bug that won’t run on Win95 but Electric Rain released a slightly newer version that runs on Win95. I’ll contact them. Have you guys heard of this or am I being misinformed?? What is the newer release version?? I am confused. ---

the answer is simple…\r\rswift was made to run under a windows 98 platform so if ur running windows 95 it aint gonna work… u need a special patch file that erain has so contact them for it if u must but u can also just upgrade to windows 98 and it will work automatically. this happened to me and i couldnt be f@\*$%! contackting erain so i decided to upgrade to win 98 and now no probs.\r\rhope it helped
