Troubleshooting common installation issues
We will note here any common installation issues along with resolutions where possible.
Please keep in mind that smartCARS 3 is not a Canada Air Virtual application, so all support requests should be pointed at TFDi Design's support system.
I'm told not to run smartCARS 3 as administrator, but I am not.
