Hello all,
Obviously I am new to TS. I have downloaded all the tutorials as I understand they are about to go away=(. Anyway I have started with the "Getting started with TS 7" tutorial and got through most of it with no problem. However, there are some discrepancies between my screen and the one that is used in the tutorial. For one thing, the arrow button next to the default tab does not drop down a menu but opens a system browser wanting me to open a file. Also I have only four tabs across the top, where in the video the user has many tabs. Most importantly, I have no "library menu" above my docked Libraries area (on left of screen). I am sure that I just dont understand how open this menu, but I cant figure out how. Please help and save me from pulling my hair out. Thanks.

Welcome to tS and the forum,

The discrepancies are due to the tutorial being made with a slightly earlier version of tS.
The functions are still there, they just look a little different or are in a different spot.

For the tabs, you'll want to navigate to your trueSpace7.x/tS/RS Main Libraries/Layouts-Configurations/ folder.
This will then display all the layouts you have in the library as tabs across the top.

In addition to displaying Layouts as tabs, you could also point it to any number of different folders- the one containing your Scenes, for example.
Each scene in that folder would then get a tab, allowing for easy switching between them.

The 'Library Menu' is now the 'Library Browser'
It's icon: This will allow you to navigate to and open any Library into the 'Stack'.

Hope that saves your hair!
Don't hesitate to ask any more questions.

Cool thanks a lot. Now for the big surprise. I have another problem. I cannot get many of the tutorials to play. Media Player says that I need a codec to use the files. Any ideas?

Just do a quick Google for a codec pack, Generally you can download the codecs in baulk and will cover all the required types.

Alright, the mass codec downloads did not work, however I did find one that does. Here is the link for future reference. http://www.voiceage.com/acelp_eval_eula.php,

try this link.

i dont need a codec. cause i downgraded my windows to a WinXP Pro.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
::the pro is that i dont need a codec.
the con is my sound card doesnt work any more. unless i upgrade it.
but i dont have a internet connection to my Windows computer.
to fix it.

the videos play but i cant hear a sound from anywhere on my computer.
this is my fault for downgrading it and for deleting the Back up Partition.::
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
sorry about my complaining i was typeing in didnt realize this was going to post.

so i quess if you want upgrade/downgrade you OS make sure you have a inernet connection.
these downloads dont downgrade. i hade a boot disk to downgrade. and i mised up

but good luck.

have you used any other 3d Software like AutoDesk Maya or anthing like that?
