Nifskope configuration/settings

[seraglio]

Hopefully someone can help me here. I just installed nifskope 1.0.22. I'm already able to edit keyframes with no problem, but cannot bring up any character files. Hard to describe the screens I get, I cannot see images at all and they echo like a screensaver. Ive made no changes to the default settings yet, is there a doc somewhere that shows configs for FF?

To better facilitate a diagnosis, you should provide A. your operating system and graphics hardware information and B. specific examples of NIF files that would not load properly in NIFSkope 1.0.22 on your machine.  I just downloaded and reinstalled 1.0.22 on a Dell Windows XP SP3 machine with on-board graphics and successfully opened numerous NIFs without changing any settings whatsoever.

Ouch, I was really hoping it was a simple config file I needed. I didn't post specs since I didn't think it was a system issue. All nif files do the same thing, you cant see anything and as you move the mouse it "shadows" and creates a fractal like screensaver effect. Its a display issue not a specific .nif.

Anyone else running Nifskope successfully using vmplayer? I have to assume at this point it's probably that since its not a nifskope issue. I run FF in a winXP VM instance off an SSD drive. Video card on the host system is Nvidia 9600. Its a high end server/gaming rig Winxp 64bit/Red Hat, 16gig ram, Intel core duo, yada yada been my server for 2 years. Run everything on vmware, never had a problem with any game or utility till now, so didn't think to mention it.

I'll try it on the host system and see what happens. Thanks

IIRC, NifSkope uses OpenGL, not DirectX. Check the OpenGL drivers for your graphics card. They may be optional!
