This is not a symptom that happens on my setup. Have you tried running exiting 3D Studio with the F10 (DOS SHELL) command, and then running CHAOS from the command prompt? If so, do you get the same symptoms? I assume that you're running 3DS 2, and that you're loading 3DS with the 3DSSHELL, rather than 3DS command. I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of memory available for running CHAOS was too low, causing this. Any experimenting you can do to create more available memory (in the 640k range) before starting 3DS? Let us know your memory manager settings, and if you have a large amount of commands in your config.sys and autoexec.bat, you might try paring them down. Nik
