What OS are you running?

From my previous posting:
To view the animations use MASH, MAPV or the ACE (Microsoft Agent Character Editor)

In your case you could try to find a copy of MASH or MAPV.

Failing that, I could look in my other computer to see if I still have an old copy in there.

I am also using Win 7 with 64 bit and I've tried several .acs (character) files.
I don't know whether anyone programmed a "Command Console" for the MS Agent characters other
than the ones I mentioned. I don't think there was an active voice command either.

Using MS-Agent Properties Viewer 3.1 I was able to view and Play all of the character's animations.
This was repeated with more than just one character (I tried several).
As you can see, I tested Sylvie doing a SMILE routine which worked fine.

While there is hardly a use for MS Agent characters and Win 7 no longer actively supports them, they
were fun for their time.

I just downloaded and ran the MSPV to test it and it worked for me. Your mileage may vary.

There are other avatars available. It just depends on your desired usage.

Good luck!

Look at Guile3D's Denise is you really want to see a beautiful 3D avatar!! There were also many "movable" avatar characters done with a program called People Putty by Haptek corp. You can find a lot of them at various AI related sites.

currently im using magents with zabaware
it seems to be the best option
well,,actually guile 3d seems to be the best option, but thats 200 bucks
verbots seems unusable as the point of choosing/selection avatar

are there any other options you might know of?
r.i.p. cyberbuddy is defiantly not an option for me
i still have the installation cd for memories

What's wrong with using UltraHal or trying your luck with some of the Haptek creations? I think Duskrider used to be pretty with a command set to get them to do different things, poses, etc.

Haptek is reportedly working on revamping its rather dated avatar creation software, more geared toward Windows 7 & 8 and 64bit systems as I'm told. There are a LOT of character Heads from which to choose and several of the full body characters as well. Personally, the character movements are ok on my Win 7 if I only activate the .htr or haptar file by itself. If I use Zabaware's GUI, the interactivity is somewhat slow and sluggish - slight delays before actions are performed. Hopefully, Haptek will address these issues in their upgrade.

If you have an XP box, UltraHal and Haptek should perform pretty fluidly together.

A former active member here, Rich Amico has created a Halwindows / Alactive program that allows one to manipulate a fullbody Haptek character in a number of different poses, backgrounds, music, effects, etc. His program is Free if you are interested.

There is also a site called Mixamo at:http://www.mixamo.com/

Calemus,

I forgot about a pretty cool product called iClone. Tons of characters and room for modification, enhancements, creating your own animations, movies, scenes, backgrounds, etc.
