Tech Support, Sorry about jumping in, but my mouse just failed and my modem is going fast…… I attempted to install Animator Studio as instructed in the manual, only to be surprised by the lack of further instructions and it's insistance to be installed by floppies. Outside of that, though, it seemed to load OK. (all the icons appeared in the newly created group.) The next surprise was the Flipper GPF. So far, Flipper has caused 3 GPF's on my system, and I would like him to stop. I am running a Pentium 90 with 64 MB RAM, a Diamond Viper PCI graphics card and a SB 16 sound card. I have Windows relatively well-streamlined already; how much of a swap-file should I set up, and if the swap file is set too large, won't I be setting myself up with a disk-thrashing problem? The next problem is with the scripting. It is not working well; it did not operate smoothly through the tutorials. After angel.avi was extended to a 2 second duration, it hung while playing through the script (I discovered quite by accident that pressing the spacebar would free it up and allow the script to continue to play. (I was not into the slide show mode; it is not set up to pause and yet continues to do so.) I also get an error message when I attempt to add sound to the Angel.Avi file; something stating that if I add a WAV to an AVI I wil no longer have use of audio. This does not make sense, since I have been able to add sound to all the tutorial AVI files (aha–not to stills, though—Is there a problem with adding wav sounds to stills?
