Make sure the bitmaps and material lib required for the trees are on the nXt search path.

In the past, a common reason was that the model was too far from the 0,0 coord.

It worked for me.

Does this machine have ar4 installed?  If so, the libs installed by default in:

C:/Program Files/Common Files/mcneel share/accurender libraries

Somewhere in there you'll find the plib, the mlib (materials), and a set of bitmaps.  nXt has to be able to find all of these.  It does recursively search subdirectories so pointing it to the folder mentioned above should work.

This could easily be something else, too.
