"Probably like many of you, I have purchased NT 3.5 Workstation to prepare for R5. As far as "hard to get it up and running" goes, I have had nothing but a nightmare with it. Sometimes boots, sometimes doesn't. Typestry2 (32 bit) will crash it everytime I envoke a processor hungry task like shadow casting. I have also been able to crash PhotoShop 3.0 (32 bit) and Painter3 (16 bit). " Yup, yup, same here. Still haven't gotten my HP Scanjet to work and the Canon printer driver waits 15 seconds BETWEEN EACH Line that it prints! MS's solution to that was: Print a "garbage" page first, stop the printer when doing that, reset the printer into regular mode manually, and presto the next page(s) print just fine at regular speed… And you think those guys give a damn…Tsk,Tsk.. Your Painter problem however, is a Painter problem (had the same). Go to the fractal forum and get the new update to Painter 3.1, it works for me… "I have been only using the NT supplied drivers for my Adaptec SCSI controller and S3 Diamond card. Drivers for NT seem to fall short of stable at this time. Fortunately, there is lots of good help on the WINNT Forum…but no solutions yet. Everybody is hoping V 3.51 will provide many fixes. I am about ready to return it for a refund." Believe me, I was ready too, now I'm just waiting to see the rel.3.51, maybe that will sway me (?)
