COOL 3D More Other Information

When I try to access the thumbnails features in compositions or objects, why do I get the warning message [ creating class not registered failed ] and cannot use the component?

This problem may be caused by the fact that these compositions or objects do not achieve the successful registration to the system during installation Try the following suggestions:

1. Download this file "c3d35.bat" and copy it to the folder in which you installed COOL 3D 3.5. (For example, C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\Ulead COOL 3D 3.5)
2. Copy a file (regsvr32.exe) from Windows\System under Win 98, Me (or WinNT\System under Win 2000, or Windows\System32 under Win XP) to the same folder as step 1).
3. Execute that bat file. You can open Windows Explorer, then double-click the file to launch it. Or you can also execute it in MS-DOS mode.

Why does the rendering speed become so slow whenever I create a video file?

Normally, the slow rendering situation may be related to:

• Using Cache View in first run
• Creating Metaball
• Applying textures to Geometric Shapes

Try the following suggestions to improve the rendering speed:

1. Check Use HAL Rendering to speed rendering.
2. Uncheck "Texture Emboss" to speed rendering when using textures.
3. Adjust Object Quality to Draft to speed rendering.
