Hello ALL! I have had my PAR up and running for approximately 3 months now with relatively few problems, until recently. I have over the past month made a number of "enhancements" to my computer systems in order to complete a large project. This is what I have done: – Move the PAR system into a DELL XPS-90 Mini tower system. – Add this new system to a Lantastic Network. – Update the PAR software to ver 1.27b – Add a second Hard Drive to my PAR system, giving me a: Master: Micropolis 2210A – 1.05 GB Drive Slave : Micropolis 2217A – 1.65 GB Drive in that order. Since adding the second drive I have been experiencing problems. 90% of the time things seem to be working perfectly. However sometimes when I do a join or an append, the process messes up a frame that was correct before. In other words, I'll join two good animations and get a slightly messed up resultant animation. Then sometimes when I rerender the bad frames and try joining them in more frames go south. It is real annoying. It happens on both drives and seems to be quite random. I can't honestly say that it is definitely a problem that started with the new drive because my system has changed so much lately. Any Suggestions? Jim G.
