Why does A:M turn on MS Agent?

[T-Dogg]

When I start A:M, the MS Agent Wizard's hat pops up in my system try. It doesn't seem to do anything other than just sit there in the tray. I was just wondering what's the point of that?

 

Thanks again for your time and I apologize if this is a stupid question.

There are several tutorials that use the agent to walk through the software.

 

You can disable the agent load by deleting the following registry key:

 

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Hash, Inc.\Animation Master v12.0\Agent\Filename

Thanks for the info! But I gotta ask... how did you guys know all this? I didn't see it mentioned in the book anywhere.

 

Well, I just tried to do the Hello tutorial, and Merlin told me to read everything in the tutorial window and click the "next" button.... but the window was empty. It only said HELLO across the top. I had to shut down A:M to get out of the tutorial. I guess it doesn't work.

 

Anyway, I turned Agent off. Thanks again for the info!
