Lance, I have a Raptor (now a R+) and have experienced the same problems you are stating. 1) Wavemaker – I have tried loading WaveMaker scenes on the Raptor Plus, and it just freaks out if I have it in anything but independent rendering mode (what acutally happens is that when I am in manual mode one of the processors seems to lock up and I have to reboot, or the R+ simply shuts itself down – weird). The regular Raptor did not have this problem – go figure. 2) I had this white screen problem back in June. What was happening was that I would start a render, the Raptor would take about 13-14 minutes and then render out a blank white screen (a real dandy sight when you have to have a project out the door in 12 hours). NewTek was of no help, and I was on a deadline from hell, so I deleted Lighwave, reinstalled 3.1 and then reinstalled the ScreamerNet software. Apparently when I updated my ScreamerNet Software I should have chosen "Complete Installation" instead of "update". The update option suppposedly screws things up – but of course I found out the hard way. Anyway, my suggestion is to reinstall Lightwave 3.1 or 3.5 (whichever you have) and then totally reinstall the Screamer Software – a new version is available through NewTek as of last week. Adib
