I downloaded EYEBRO.ZIP to check out the eyebrowse PXP, but can't get it to run properly. It is EYEBROWSE V 1.0. I am using 3DS rel.3, and the Vibrant driver rel. 1.0.1.P6 (Feb. 28, 1994). Main Display = Vibrant Graphics Board = ATI Ultra XLR, 800×600, 16777126 colors (also tried 800×600, 16777126 colors, BGR; 800×600, 16777126 colors, MemMapped; 800×600, 256 colors) Using a Gateway Pentium P5-60, in DOS 6.2 Mem = Memory Type Total = Used + Free —————- ——- ——- ——- Conventional 640K 122K 518K Upper 155K 73K 82K Reserved 384K 384K 0K Extended (XMS) 64,357K 305K 64,052K —————- ——- ——- ——- Total memory 65,536K 884K 64,652K Total under 1 MB 795K 195K 600K Largest executable program size 517K (529,616 bytes) Largest free upper memory block 52K (53,552 bytes) MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area. The PXP launches correctly in 24-bit(in 8-bit a PXP error message occurs, saying I'm in 8-bit, but launches the PXP fine until the mouse sticks), but after the "EYEBROWSE This is a shareware version…" dialog is toggled away, the mouse freezes in the upper left corner of the main PXP screen. I also tried placing the PXP in the 3DS.SET file as an External Program, but same results. Making the main display 24-bit causes redraws to slow down considerably, and some wireframe colors are wrong. Could the PXP run off of the Materials Display instead? This would allow the Main Display to stay the optimal 8-bit depth, while using the normal 24-bit depth in the materials editor. I'd also like to see the keyboard hotkeys used– I had to warm boot each time to exit the PXP: standard 3DS keyboard alternatives like the TAB key to toggle, the Q key to quit, etc, would have been great. I've been looking for this kind of app. for a long time. I would buy it in a n instant if it works! Thanks Eric Chadwick, Mechadeus/Mondo Media
