I have a very unusual Toaster problem that I'm hoping someone has a solution for. It's hard to describe, but it goes like this: The problem only occurs after about a half hour of the hardware being on…the system works great for that first half hour. The symptom is that Lightwave pictures, when viewed on the Program output, have little "pixel rips" (for lack of a better term) or strips of pixels that are the same basic color of the surrounding pixels but much "brighter". These little rips are not present on the Amiga monitor, nor are they in saved IFF or Framestores, but seem to be an output symptom seen only when the hardware has been turned on more than half an hour. In other words, if I view that same Lightwave output just after I turn the system on (when it's still cold??), the little rips aren't present. I've also tried viewing Framestores in DV1 or DV2 with no difference. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this ??? Thanks for your help. Richard
