Thanks Acorn but I have an old computer running Windows 10 and that still runs fine.@Egg - perhaps create a VM running W10 or earlier, just for X3Dv7?

Hi, Egg, I had the same problem on my Win 11 PC, but using the installer from the link provided by MB365 above, I was able to re-install it yesterday. I had to uninstall the defunct one first, and I was a bit nervous about that, but everything went smoothly. X3D7 works perfectly well again, much to my relief, and it still does after a further Win 11 update that popped up this morning.
I'd last used X3D7 in August, and I've been using Win 11 (Pro) since it first came out a couple of years ago. I hope you guys are all well and had a good Xmas!

Wow, sorry Mike I totally missed this post, must have been the Christmas rush.
Yes I'm fine, just older as we all are. I'll give the installer a try again.
I bet not many members would ever guess that you made your avatar using X3D.
I always loved you Falkirk wheel animation.

Hi, Egg, no worries!
I still play with X3D7, and I've even started a new Hollow Earth, now that you've mentioned it. X3D7 has a 260-character buffer, and the Hollow Earth was done in X3D6 which had only room for 150, which is why the current HE only has 150 rings around its equator. 260 is a substantial increase so should make for noticeably narrower rings and thus better detail. But it also means noticeably more slog, and a lot more finicky detailing!So it won't be done any time soon, I think.
If any X3Ders would like to know more about the Hollow Earth, Gary Priester's Xarazone website has a Tutorial I wrote about how I made it. Search for Guest Tutorial 93.
