odd! it should work if ran from DVD.

by redirecting, i meant... opening up hypergraph, assigning a material, then choosing the file for the texture..

of course.. if you do not know what file your texture is.. then you can't.

im not sure why it does not work straight from DVD. Have u tried pressing "6"?

4=wireframe
5=shaded
6=texture showing
7=texture showing with your own ligting

sorry.. ima total noob too.. so i only so much.
