REGISTER AND UPDATE YOUR PROGRAM
Find your serial number: The very first thing that you need to do before creating any
album is to register your product and update to the latest version. You can not get
updates unless you have registered your product. It is really important to get updates as
many problems and bugs have been fixed, as well as new styles added. The serial number may be on
the box, inside the box, on the CD, or in an email if you purchased online.
Register your product. Once you have your serial number you're ready to go online and register
your product. You do this by updating your 3D-Album Forum profile.
Access the 3D-Album User Forum,
then click on REGISTER link at the top of the page to register as a new forum user, or the PROFILE
link at the to of the page to update an existing profile with the serial number of your product.
Alternatively, you can simply go to
3D-Album.com and click on either the LOGIN link or the MEMBER SERVICES link. These
links can be found in the upper right area of the page.
Download and install the latest update release for your product.
Again, go to
3D-Album.com and click on the MEMBER SERVICES link, found in the upper
right area of the page. Log in and you will see the download update area. If you are already
logged in, simply click on the MEMBER SERVICES link and you will see the download update area.
Choose the appropriate update for your version of the product.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CLOSE YOUR 3D-ALBUM PROGRAM BEFORE RUNNING THE UPDATE.
Now that you've updated your 3D-Album program, you should also update your 3DTime styles.
Open up the 3DTime style you plan to use, and click on the update button.
Updating 3D-Album and 3DTime add-on styles on a Windows 7 PC can be difficult.
Purchase the full Tutorial PDF to get helpful hints on how to do this.
Finally, make sure that your video card is capable of supporting OpenGL.
(Most PCs sold today should not have a problem with this.)
It may be a good idea to download the latest driver for your video card.
Make sure you have administrator rights to your PC before updating your
3D-Album program or video card driver.
OK, let's get started on your first album.
