## Notes on running the VCK under Windows NT

Running the VCK under Windows NT is not recommended for the following reasons:

- The VCK plug-in was compiled under Win98. You may encounter problems with NT based MAX initializing and using plugins compiled on anything other than Windows NT when you run 3D Studio MAX under Windows NT.
- By default, the Asset Manager (am.exe) attempts to render the scene using DirectX 6.1. At the time this document was published, Windows NT doesn't (yet) fully support DirectX.

If you still want to use using the VCK under Windows NT, change the Verify line in the maxpaths.ini file (c:\vck\angel\maxpaths.ini) to the following:

Verify="c:\vck\angel\am.exe –opengl -translate -review -bw geo/%s"

The Asset Manager will attempt to use OpenGL to render the scene instead of DirectX. Assuming your driver is up to the task, you should see the scene.

Prior to exporting the scene, reduce 3D Studio MAX to less than full-screen. Otherwise, your display settings won't be properly restored. Keep in mind that you may have to quit 3D Studio MAX after the export in order to get it to render again.
