#PAR CORRUPT;<
OK…so I have a PAR, a TBCIV, version 1.51 PAR drivers and 1.81 TBC drivers
This is my story… I bought the PAR about 6 months ago, and the TBCIV 2
weeks ago. The PAR scrambled my first project (for who knows what reason!) and
all the other ANI files I had on the drive — POOF!! 2 weeks down the tubes!.
I recovered slowly from that mishap and HAD since regained my faith in the
thing.
It gets worse… Last night I was doing a Stop Frame animation using the TBCIV
board (Alt-A Play and Grab) and after 350 agonizingly long, arduous frames (or
4 hours) I stopped to take a look at my creation. I loved it – except for
frame 255 (out of focus) I did a delete, frame, 255 to 255, waited for a
minute while the PAR did its thing and played the ANI again…GASP!!! :{ My
entire ANI file went south….the whole thing turned into some multicolored
garbage. I nearly cried. ;<
I have absolutely no faith in my PAR anymore and Im getting ready to call my
dealer and him come pickup the mangled remains (after I throw it through my
window!)
Whats going on here guys? DPS or G. Pyros do you have the answer??? (other
than make sure you have the current driver or right hardware setting, backup
your PAR drive all the time or whatever..etc.– I didnt pay for these problems
but I did pay nearly $4000 for everything)
In defense of the PAR, I think it is a wonderful product (its paid for itself,
so many times!) but Im really reluctant to place any trust in the thing.
Please help!
