I just downloaded it, and when i try and install it, it says something about it not being compatible with my operating system. o_O

I'm running windows XP 64 bit, it should install and run fine, i don't get this.

Does it not work with 64 bit operating systems?

Is there something i can do to get it to install and run?

Forgive me if this has come up already before, i did a search and it brought up nothing.

Yes and no...
XP64 was Microsoft's first try at a 64-bit-OS, and it wasn't exactly supported in a good way or with good drivers.


IGM works on Win7 64 Bit (I installed the trial some time ago), but after XP Microsoft has heavily modified the way their 64-Bit-Versions work, and I wouldn't be surprised if a program requires a function that was only added to provide compatibility after XP64, a function that you're still missing...


However, that is not the only thing that might have happened here - it could also be that your installer was damaged while downloading (rare, should be fine if you're redownloading it again), it might be that you need compatibility mode on the installer itself or that you need admin-access during install.


So try a bit around to find out if its one of the other possible reasons - if not, you might have to wait until someone who knows the program better comes along...

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
