Hello, Lofter trouble. I just upgraded from 486/33 to a 486/100 (DX4) mainly because some of my objects spent too long in the Lofter. Some of the objects takes 4 to 6 hours to generate (!). They are panels with up to 100 differnt holes in them. I've adjusted down all parameters to minimum for the res I need (I think). After the CPU upgrade it still takes a couple of hours to generate the objects. I have 3DS r2. Will 3DS r3 be any faster? I have 16 meg RAM and there is no "page faults". EMS trouble. I had a line in config.sys something like this: DEVICE=EMM386.EXE RAM ON … etc. After the CPU upgrade EMM386 reported that it could not get a page frame address and therefore no EMS memory. Instead of trying to find out whet the problem was <g> I added the switch FRAME=NONE. Now 3DS starts and seems OK. The question is: Is it OK for 3DS r2 to work with FRAME=NONE? Morten.
