I just downloaded the "supermapper" zip from the Freestuff Utilities gallery, and - as before - it keeps crashing on me shortly after I close it. The uvmapper.EXE file causes an "invalid page fault" error window to appear, and it takes at least 6 clicks of OK before the window finally closes! This happens every time I load a OBJ file into it. I'm able to use the program, save a template, but its just closing the damn thing that's doing my head in! :) Also, if you see my the pic, it often causes anomalous lines to appear on templates, once the template is created. Anyone else having these problems or is it just me? BTW: I'm using win98Se, no major problems. Joeblack

I don't recall ever seeing that behavior with uvmapper. Have you done a search to see if anyone else has had that problem? I know Poser has had trouble with win98, but also haven't heard of any uvmapper trouble. You might also check out uvmapper.com to see if there's any info there.

I've played a bit with Supermapper but for no real reason settled UVMapper (free version for now). I never had any troubles with Supermapper, only went with the other cuz I caught onto it quicker. Oh, I too use Win98SE/PIII-CPU/384MegRAM with all current updates and Java and DirectX support EXCEPT IE/OE ver6; I prefer to stick with ver.5.5 with SP. I've also had no issues with Poser or Bryce where Win98 is conserned, doubling my RAM helped, and could still use more ;-P

As I thought, it might be a poser-win98 conflict interfering with supermapper. I had these similar strange lines on my templates when I was using the ordinary UVmapper. Guess I'll have to look to Curiouslabs and uvmapper.com for answers. Cheers JoeBlack

Why are you using supermapper instead of uvmapper? Just curious.

The program you downloaded is not UVMapper, it's supermapper by Clive Pygott. The executable name is not uvmapper.EXE, it's uvmapst.exe, and it's over two years old at this point. You may want to check out UVMapper which is available for free (both Windows and Macintoh version) from UVMapper.com Let me know if you have problems and I'll do what I can to help. Good luck, Steve
