I seem to be having trouble installing this program. I'm running windows vista 32 bit., have all the latest updates etc. I went and downloaded the program installer after finding some of your videos on youtube to try it out. But, when I click on the installer it locks up my Windows explorer forcing me to restart my pc or nothing will work. I try to run it as administrator with the same result. When I try to scan it with my antivirus software, it tries to read the .exe file but it scans it endlessly without finishing the process. I have since deleted the installer I downloaded directly from this site. I would sure like to try this thing out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi goofiesouth,

Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with Muvizu.
Have you tried to download it again? Also can you please tell us the file size, just so we can determine if the file was fully downloaded?

Cheers,
Marco

I believe the file size was in the neighborhood of 584mb or something to that effect. It took roughly 30 min. to download. I will try to download it again, and see what happens.

Hi goofiesouth,

Thanks for the update. It seems the file was fully downloaded.
I will wait and see if another installer will solve your problem. You can also try downloading it from one of the mirror sites we have available.

You can find them here: http://muvizu.com/Forum/topic318-download-mirrors.aspx

Please keep us posted.

Cheers,
Marco

I have found it was due to a download malfunction. Apparently, at least for me, I had to stay on this website while it downloaded. The initial download, I closed this website and went to another while the program was downloading. For some reason, this caused some of the file to fragment. I have managed to download and install it.

Unfortunately, my graphics card doesn't support alpha blending with floating point render targets. So I am unable to use this program. It's unfortunate, it looked like it might be a lot of fun to play around with. I had been using Moviestorm, but it is too Sims looking for my taste, and so it wasn't what I was really looking for in an animation program. But, it works. I may have to go back to it. Thanks for the response though. This site looks fantastic.

Hopefully a future build of this program will be made available that is less requirement intensive. I would definitely give it a go. Thanks.
