Posts: 100 		Hi Computerboffin,
This sounds like it could be a graphics card issue - can you please provide us with some info on what graphics card you have on your machine? Also, while your CPU sounds like it's ok this could also be at the root of the problem - what is your CPU spec?

Thanks
Muvizu team

Posts: 100 		Hi Computerboffin,

We're a bit confused regarding your graphics card.

If you have an intel X3100 then this will almost certainly be the problem. If you have the nVidia GeForce 7150 then it should be able to handle Muvizu a little bit better, but it will probably still be sluggish (it's about 1/4 of the spec we recommend). The Unreal Engine 3 really needs some thing like an Nvidia 7800 GTX or better.

We would recommend investing in a ne, higher spec graphics card as this will serve you in the long run (not just for the Muvizu app).

Hope this help.

Muvizu team.

Posts: 100 		Hi,
Right, first of all the processor and graphics card you mentioned below should work fine. But we need some more details on what's going wrong so we can help you out. We have a few questions:
  • what OS are you using on your desktop?
  • what did the error message say?
  • which file did it say wasn't there? could you take a screengrab and send it to us? (contact@muvizu.com)
  • did you install all the components bundled with the install on the machine? if not, can you try installing them and try launching the application again?
Any screengrabs and details on the error you could provide gives us more information that will help us figure out why the app isn't running with you, so send as much info as possible please!

Thanks
Muvizu team.

Works fine on my PC but am curious whether it would work for a system at work

Onboard Intel graphics generally struggle with Muvizu - the X4500 can probably run it.

If it does work it will probably have a very poor frame rate, part of this is because it uses the systems RAM as it has no memory of it's own.

If you do try it let us know how you get on.

Take care,
-Jim
