on the screen right go down the menu to rtw import when the screen pops up go to your cas files in data/models_unit/ect.......and open if you've done all that the model is loaded,if you cant see it its because you need
to zoom in with your wheel mouse(i sat fuming for ages before i sussed that)

dont know paint shop but if its the same as photoshop you need a dds plugin to view the tga's which should be on the nvidia site and is most likley on here somewhere

oh if you want the skin on in max tick force texture path,..... you do have 3d max

Have you downloaded the cas impoort/export script done by vercingetorix?

In 3ds max, click (in the top menu) MaxScript -> Run Script
Select the CAS script and run it
Click on the hammer on the right of the screen
Click on MaxScript in the menu that appears
Select CAS importer/exporter in the drop down box. The options should now appear in the toolbox on the right. You can scroll down if necessary.
select, force texture path direct it to your models_unit/textures folder this will make the model load with its own skin
rome:tw import ..in the pop up window select the .cas file you want in rtw/bi data/models_unit in rtw you want the one ending in 400 in bi you want the first one(best qaulity)
