hi Nik, as for"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?"..Yes exited with F10 and it reacts the same way..first screen clean then all six others show garbled until I enter "toy universes" which is always clean, then when I reenter the other programs they are clear of the bargled instructions.. B:have also run CHAOS from Program pull down while going thru a batch file.. no change.. 2.."you're running 3DS 2, and loading 3DS with 3DSSHELL, rather than 3DS command."… Now in 3ds.2.01A but also had same situation in 3DS 2..also am loading the 3DSSHELL. 3. Problem happened when I was using HIMEM.SYS and EMM386, now I've gone over to QEMM and it still does it, here is config.sys: device=c:\qem\qemm386.sys ram x=E000-EFFF x=B000-B7ff diskbuf=2 DOS=high,umb DEVICE=C:\QEM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE DEVICE=C:\VGAUTIL\MOUSE.SYS FILES=10 Buffers=1 stacks=0,0 shell=c:\command.com /e:286 /p DEVICE=c:\tplus\targap.sys b0 i220 me r1 w1 s1 d4" and finally here is the Autoexec.bat: c:\qem\loadhi /r:1 c:\qem\BUFFERS=1 c:\qem\loadhi /r:1 c:\qem\files=40 c:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE /L/Q/R PROMPT $P$G PATH=C:\;C:\dos;C:\BAT;C:\ANI;c:\vgautil;C:\WINDOWS;C:\CHAOS;C:\TPLUS; C:\TPLUS\WINAPP;c:\tplus\demo;C:\utility\pkzip VGA_INI SET TEMP=C:\PAAT SET TARGA=37 set batchval=0 Frankly, I can't figure why it clears up when I go into the Toy Universes directory..
