IMPORTANT NOTE TO ATI/AMD USERS
Some users who use ATI/AMD graphics card have reported that they cannot get REX 4 Texture Direct to work on their systems even though they have .NET Framework 4.5 and SQL Local Databases properly installed on their computers. I have made some research into the issue and it appears that some programs ATI/AMD customers use on their computers are the major offenders for this. Below is a short list of these programs:
- Catalyst Control Center / Vision Control Center
- MOM.exe (a component of Catalyst/Vision Control Center) - RadeonPro
Based on MY experience, REX 4 Texture Direct still works with the Catalyst Control Center and MOM.exe working in the background, but RadeonPro is definitely an offender and causes problems with REX 4 Texture Direct in most cases. Remember that YOUR mileage may vary depending on your system configuration. If you encounter such issues with the programs listed above, quit them before running REX 4 Texture Direct and re-run them after you have finished using REX 4 Texture Direct. Another option that works for RadeonPro according to my experience is enabling the option “Disable API monitoring for programs not listed in my profiles list” in the Advanced Settings section of RadeonPro. This should let you run REX 4 Texture Direct without having to shut RadeonPro down before using it.
