Is it me? Or does anyone else have a problem with this.

Hi all,

Beginner level.

I'm playing around with Maya 2012 for the first time.

I downloaded two files from this location.
https://www.infinitee-designs.com/1970-Mach-1.htm

The Maya Binary crashed the program crashed the program no matter what options I selected.

The Alias Wavefront .OBJ loaded not a lot of fun because because it is one object; everything is the same color when you put a texture on it.

I've seen this binary work in Maya 7.0 at a friends house.

Is there limit to how far back a previous version will work? Or is there some conversion tool to make the binary "newer" or some setting that I can change?
Thanks.

I was just wondering if anyone was able to duplicate my problem with 2012.

I don't know about the service pack. I just downloaded the latest trial.

My Internet's out of service.

I'm doing this communication from an Internet Cafe.

I am assuming that you downloaded the binary and tried it on 2012 and had no problems?
