No real harm done, since the projects are all done. But why on earth have the previously free scenes and stuff been moved into the premium content? Pretty silly, if you don't mind me saying so.

Posts: 45 		Hi All... the force DX9 load was not because of Windows 10. It was Intel drivers on laptop. I have this problem. I run Windows 10 Pro on Desktop and have no problems with Muvizu. Yet on my Laptop with Windows 10 Pro and Intel drivers I have a few problems.

Is Muvizu 1.6.1 Stable yet?

Posts: 11 		Has anyone come up with a solution to this Windows 10 problem yet? I'm on the verge of abandoning Muvizu for other software because of I can not instal it on win 10, the DirectX installer fails every time and then when I try to run Muvizu I get 'unable to load Muvizu.dll'.

It seems windows 10 installs Direct X 12 which they claim is backwards compatable (it's not!), but Muvizu only uses 9 or 11. Win 10 will not allow DX 9/11 to be installed.

I've been on to support who were very helpful and I have updated every driver ect and tried evey work around, I have actually just completed a re-instal, but all to no avail.

So until Muvizu is compatble with Win 10 it is unfortunately of no use to me. Any help would be appreciated.

NB. I have three machines all running windows 10 and all have the same problem.

Posts: 11 		Thanks Bigwally, but I've spent hours on microsoft's site downloading sdk's ect and getting the frigging Bing Bar installed all to no avail! Here is some advise from a pro site ref DX9 -

'The DirectX built in to Windows 10 is compatible with DirectX 9, 10 and 11.
So you shouldn't try to install an older DirectX version manually at all. You can really screw up your Windows installation that way.
Unfortunately there are a lot of programs (mainly old games) that try to install DirectX by themselves or test for the presence of a certain DirectX version in an incorrect way, which causes them to miss that DirectX is already present.
There is really no good solution to that.
If the installer of the old program is braindead you can't really cure that.
Sometimes it helps to run the installer in "compatibility mode" for XP-SP3.
In some other cases you can force the installer to continue anyway and the game will just work despite the errors during the installation.
And sometimes you are just out of luck.'
You may have to experiment a little to see what works best in your particular case.' -

The fact is, I shouldn't be having to do this, and to be honest, I've wasted enough time on this problem. It's a pity because I think Muvizu has great potential, It's the only true 3D cartoon program on the market that I can find. If the characters were a bit more attractive it would be very popular internationally. Thanks again for trying.
