Everything about Vista screams OSX. The searching from folder to folder is the same. The Dock is the same. You mean they expanded the quickstart bar functionality?
Godsend tools i used or using on this project where i HIGHLY recommend: Bulk file renamer Seriously, download this if you don't have yet. Help A LOT on file naming and renaming convention when we have to deal with a bunch of files, sometimes rename/add words/remove words once group at all is something we must have handly.…
check out my folder structure, it seems like i am missing a folder called 'Config' which, if I could find it, would lead me to a thing called baseLightMass.ini whats going on?
Yes. Go to the project folder, go to the config folder there, and open defaultengine.ini. Search for "r.RayTracing" and set its value to "False". Then save the file and open the project.
A clean install probably wouldn't hurt - try using Suite 2.3.1 in a new folder instead of the default Suite 2.0 directory, and launch from that folder.
