Hey 3DCoaters!

HELP! PLEASE!

Sparked up 3D Coat v.3.7.04 today to work on a new project. I went to choose a photo as a background reference while I in "front' camera position.

Instead of being able to choose the image I wanted, 3D Coat decided to throw in the default blue fractal background image.

Then... BLAMMO!!!!!! KAPLOOEY!!!!!! My entire system flew south for the winter after that. System wide crashing with my dual monitor set up

flickering constantly.

After de-installing and trashing every preference I could find. I was left with this image after reinstalling v3.5.

3D Coat and my system were running BEAUTIFULLY for the past year. No hiccups whatsoever; worked like a dream.

So it's safe to say that choosing a background image probably caused all of this.

Here are my specs:

MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo-2.66 GHz

8GB of DDR3 RAM

OSX 10.5.8

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB

NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512MB

Model Name: MacBook Pro

Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz

Number Of Processors: 1

Total Number Of Cores: 2

L2 Cache: 6 MB

Memory: 8 GB

Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

Boot ROM Version: MBP52.008E.B05

Please let me know if you need any more info and many, many thanks in advance.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Tony. Didn't work. And my apologies to the forum moderators... it appears I have posted in the wrong the forum.

I was stricken with panic when I couldn't use my 3d-Coat anymore and I'm under deadline.

Anyway, I reinstalled my original purchase of v3.0 and it seems to remedy the situation except for one thing.

Now, I gotta find that damned serial number LOL. :( :( :(

Have you tried uninstalling + delete your 3dcoat folder in:

c://users/**YOUR USERNAME**/documents/3D Coat (windows)

Macintosh HD/users/**YOUR USERNAME**/3D Coat (osx)

And then reinstalling.

Hey Johnnycore!

Yes, I reinstalled everything before I read your post.

I even trashed any .plist files pertaining to 3DC.

I had to do a clean install of my original v3.0 and then a clean install of

build 3.7.00. Now it looks like I'll stay away from build 3.7.16A because

every time I launch 3.7.16A, my computer freezes and monitors flicker.

But I am very happy now and it appears that everything is stable once again

after I did my clean installs.

Thanks everyone! :D
