VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigator: User Support

This page provides updated technical information on VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigators: Inner Organs, Brain and Skull and Upper Limb, such as extended release notes or bug fixes.

Please note: Newer patches include all the previous ones, so there is no need to install more than one patch! Use of older patches is recommended only if you encounter compatibility problems on old machines.

2010/01/05		Brain and Skull, Inner Organs and Upper Limb working under Windows 7
		All currently distributed versions of VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigators : Brain and Skull, Inner Organs and Upper Limb have been tested successfully under Windows 7 Professional on a Core 2 Duo processor.
2008/10/02		Brain and Skull and Inner Organs working on Core 2 Duo under Windows Vista
		VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigators : Brain and Skull and Inner Organs have been tested successfully on a recent Core 2 Duo processor (P 8400) under Windows Vista (Business SP1). It turned out that both the original versions distributed on CD or DVD as well as the updates for hyperthreading/multiprocessor CPUs (see below) are working well. Note: While running one of the programs, the Vista Aero color scheme (i.e. the glass-like appearance of the window borders) is temporarily disabled, but will be properly restored at program exit.

2004/01/12		Update for Hyperthreading/Multiprocessor CPUs available (Brain and Skull only)
		VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigator: Brain and Skull encounters several problems on the latest Intel CPUs if hyperthreading is activated and/or multiprocessor systems are used. To download a patched version, click on vm3dn-bs2-htmp-patch.exe with the right mouse button and select "Save link as ..." (about 22 MB). See the README or LIESMICH on how to proceed.

2003/11/14		Update for Hyperthreading/Multiprocessor CPUs available (Inner Organs only)
		VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigator: Inner Organs (CD and DVD) encounters several problems on the latest Intel CPUs if hyperthreading is activated and/or multiprocessor systems are used. To download a patched version, click on vm3dn-io-htmp-patch.exe with the right mouse button and select "Save link as ..." (about 22 MB). See the README or LIESMICH on how to proceed.

2001/07/17		Stereo display for Inner Organs (Brain and Skull already have this feature)
		If your PC can display stereo using an OpenGL card/emulation and shutter glasses, install this free upgrade to see the scenes of your VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigator: Inner Organs atlas in full-color stereo! To download the upgrade, click on vm3dn-io-gl-upgrade.exe with the right mouse button and select "Save link as ..." (about 0.5 MB). See the README or LIESMICH on how to proceed.

2001/06/13		Intel Pentium 4 not supported (Inner Organs only)
		Unfortunately, Java Runtime 1.1.7 for Windows by Sun Microsystems used for VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigator: Inner Organs proved incompatible with the newly developed Intel Pentium 4 processor, causing the program to crash on these machines. To download a patched Java Runtime, click on vm3dn-io-p4-patch.exe with the right mouse button and select "Save link as ..." (about 4.5 MB). See the README or LIESMICH on how to proceed.

2000/11/27		Drive Z: not supported (Inner Organs only)
		The version distributed on CD-ROM does not support drive Z:, regardless whether Z: is a hard disk or a CD-ROM drive. Therefore, scenes on drive Z: will not be found. Supported drives are C: to Y:. If you need to access drive Z:, replace file VMjrCommonV1.3.jar with an updated version. For a standard installation, this file resides in C:\...\VOXEL-MAN 3D-Navigator\Inner Organs V1.0\VMjr where "..." represents the "Program Files" folder (may be called differently for non-English versions of Windows; e.g. "Programme" in German). To download the updated version, click on VMjrCommonV1.3.jar with the right mouse button and select "Save link as ..." (about 250 KB).

2000/10/20		Stereo glasses may be folded to wrong side (Inner Organs only)
		In some packages, the earpieces of the stereo glasses are folded to the wrong side. To get a real stereo impression, please make sure the red glass is used for the left eye, and the green glass is used for the right eye.
