>> "Can't Allocate Image Buffer", "Init of Driver Failed". This seems to happen only in OS/2. Do you have any ideas? << Either your Vibrant Driver is choking or you do not have enough memory allocated to the DOS session in OS/2 that is running 3DS. Check your DMPI_MEMORY_LIMIT setting (read on). >> Also, I have problems doing an alt-esc to 3ds and Ani Pro. << Unless the resolution of your OS/2 Desktop matches your Vibrant Display settings _exactly_ , you are likely to get screen collage when switching between the Desktop and 3DS. There is currently no "clean" solution for this since the Vibrant drivers have no way to communicate with OS/2. However, you can set either your Materials Display or Main Display to match your Desktop. Then, before switching to the Desktop, go to the module that has matching settings so OS/2 does not get confused. Alternately, you can shell to DOS inside 3DS before switching to the Desktop as this effectively places the 3DS DOS session to text mode, which OS/2 understands. >> As for Ani Pro there seems to be no way to get back in. << I will need a more detailed description of your settings and circumstances when switching to/from AniPro. Are you trying to run AniPro directly from 3DS? >> [ . . .] I am new to OS/2, [ . . . ] if you could supply me with [settings] << —- * Drag a Program object from the Templates folder onto your Desktop. A settings notebook will pop-up for the settings. * Use D:\3DS3\3DS.EXE or your current path/filename for 3DS.EXE. * Use D:\3DS3 or your 3DS directory name for the working directory. * Click the Session tab on the Notebook and click on the DOS Full Screen radio button. (3DS usually cannot run in a window due to the Vibrant driver modes.) {Continues in reply . . . }
