Q: In Lightwave 5.6 or Insire 1.0 it say "Unable to create tab contol" and then
crashes, what do i do?

from newtek, but you can also get it here.

Q: How do i get Creature Creator to work with Lightwave 6.0?

plugindir, for example: PluginDirectory C:\Newtek\Plugins

Q: How do i get Creature Creator to work with Lightwave 6.5?
A: Due to the fact that there is a bug in Lightwave 6.5 we have made a workaround for it. You need to got to the download page and download the update. This may also help if you got problem with the 6.0 version.

Q: Will you release more bodyparts for Creature Creator?
A: Yes, we are constantly working on improving the part library. Sometimes we release updates for free that extends the library. Also we are working on diffrent theme packs that will be sold for a reasonable price.

Q: I was a user of version 1.1 and when I installed the update to version 1.5 I can't load any of my old projects. I get an alert that Creature Creator is unable to add objects.
A: There has been a change in the project files so it handles relative paths better. If you want to use your old v1.1 project files with the 1.5 version, use a normal text editor (notepad for example) and open the projectfile. The objects that are about to being loaded looks something like this:
\studio42\CreatureCreator\Objects\Human\Head\Male.cco
Change this so it looks like this:
\Head\Male.cco
This is due to the new path system that makes it possible to have other object directorys then just the standard one.
