 * Softimage 3D for Windows NT 3.51

SUMMARY
To properly execute Softimage 3D for Window NT, version 3.51, you must log on as a valid Windows NT user, NOT as an Administrator. The following procedure demonstrates how to create a user account and set your environment variables.

MORE INFORMATION
To create a Softimage 3D user account:

 Log on as an Administrator. From the Administrative Tools group, start User Manager. From the User menu, select New User.  Type in information to create a new user. Sample New User dialog box: Username:   (any name you prefer) Full Name:  (optional) Description:   User Password:   (optional)

In the New User dialog box, you set the user environment profile for your system and configure the location of the user's home directory. Softimage 3D saves the DatabaseDir.rsrc file in the user's home directory.  Click Profile. The User Profile dialog box appears. In the Local Path box, type C:\Users\%username%, where C: is the partition where your Windows NT workstation is installed. Click OK to accept and close the dialog box. Click OK to close the New User dialog box.</li></ol>

A directory is created under C:\Users that contains the same name as the user's logon account.
