Good news - it's nice to have a spare !!!
it's an ongoing issue for me, not so much the crashing, that does happen with some, but conflicts more common
what worked on my first C:drive now doesn't on my new one
some things work on my Win7 not my Win10
Mimic messing up Octane render plugin or other plugins clashing with others
I am juggling projects between the beta and release all the time
Hello Wendy, your setup sounds like an ongoing PITA.
Both of my computers are Win 10 so I thought copying over working plugins would be a breeze.
The plugin that caused the Carrara install to chuck a wobbly on the Laptop works fine on the Graphics computer, so must be some setting it does not like on the Laptop.
Computer compatibility is so frustrating. Sorry to hear about the troubles. Argh.
I always dread the thought of a new computer. My philosophy has been to buy a powerful machine for Carrara animations (most recently 12 core CPU/24 threads, good graphics card), get all the software installed (a major task, the main source of new computer dread), and drive it til the wheels fall off. It's not cheap, especially custom built locally, no bloatware, but in the long run (many years, hopefully) I think less expensive and frustrating.
Taking the Amtrak train from Little Rock to Dallas tonight. The distance bus companies no longer serve downtown Little Rock. Greyhound (owned by Flix now) suggests I leave out of a town that is more than 50 miles away. (80 K). So while I am glad that I still have the Amtrak train as an option, I am not so glad that the only westbound train comes through at 3:30 am.
Taking my laptop with me so may get a chance to do some small projects.
For now, anyway.

I'm wondering how @Philemo_Carrara is doing. He has not log in for more than a year according to his profile (januari 4, 2023).
I hope all is well with him.
yeah I am concerned too
are a few other regulars that have vanished
Just wondering... can any of our USA Carrarians buy me this and send it to me?
I'd buy it but they don't ship outside of the USA

well it seems my Win7 machine has died
Oh-no - not good ....
yeah no more VWD, won't work on Win10
Carrara throws an error if I even stick the extension in
guess I needed the new drive I got the other day for all the DAZ studio obj series exports of Dforce sims for DCG obj series importer
With VWD is that the original version or the updated version ?
Sounds like the new drive was a blessing !
original but it's Philemo's bridge that is the issue
the extension
and I gain 2 4TB external drives from my Win7 I guess
Hmmm, VWD was on my wishlist - might need to reconsider ....
Anyone else running VWD on Win 10 without any problems ?
well Sagan by TheMysteryIsThePoint exports obj series nicely and they are not heavy in Carrara as the Digital Carvers Guild importer loads only one each frame
just a big folder of objs to find room for
I managed to get my Win7 to boot by unplugging my DLink, it's still flaky but I can at least now copy files off it so doing so.
I am wondering if those fanless mini PC can run Windows 7 and Carrara
if I can run Windows unregistered I have all my OEM discs (obviously need buy a disc drive too)
it would solve the VWD dilemma and could sit next to my Win10 to share files by ethernet cable, even use my modem
Good news !!!
My turn for computer woes ......
E-Drive on my Graphics computer is cactus. Tried 4 different ways to resurrect it but its kaput maximus.
Fortunately have a backup, while not up-to-date it will save me lots of drama.
Next bit I will need to wait a month before I replace it, so no Graphics computer renders till then. Have the laptop as backup so that will keep me occupied !!!
oh bugger
make sure to check the lead, I thought mine was gone once till I swapped over a lead..
Will get a techie to check it but am not hopeful.
Computer was making weird noises when it got to about 28 degrees C in my room, originally thought it was one of the fans playing up.
Also about 3 weeks ago an automatic repair disk popped up when I started my computer.
Now when I start my computer and go to Explorer am getting a message "E:\ is not accessible. The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error."
Looks like the drive was on the way out.
Was planning to replace it with an 8TB drive anyway as it was running out of storage space.
+1
Woohoo - E-drive got a second wind !!!
First of all only some of E-Drive was showing as accessable with the rest getting an error message that they were corrupt.
Turned off the computer and went down town to do some shopping, turned the computer back on and everthing seems to be working.
Been doing backups of all my recent stuff that I can remember doing.
Stezza - will get that Techie to check for a loose cable just in case your hunch is right !
my dead drive from last year sadly still lights up so I know it's not the cable
Downloaded a program called CrystalDiskInfo.
E-drive copped a Bad rating
Power and data are not the same, though.

Greetings from the north coast :)
I already tried it on my old laptop using Linux
I can detect it with some tools but it shows zero data and space
it has 3 cables from working drives that fit it and still nothing
can see it in device manager but that's all
