>>you need to start looking carefully at your hardware.<< Gary: Yes, I t h o r o u g h l y diagnosed my 4 PCs using QA Plus, MSD, and other softwares, plus scanning all of my IDE & SCSI-II hard drives, and there are no problems. However, all of my PCs are using the SMARTDRV.exe . I couldn't find any documentation(s) in the 3DS's Installation Guide about the Smartdrive driver. I followed all of the instructions (not to use Memmaker, use HIMEM.sys, ect…) I also didn't modify any of the CFIG386.exe settings. Most of these FLI/FLC to *.GIF conversions in VPost took only 1 sec/frame on the Pentium PCs. I noticed a 6-10 second delay between completed rendering & writting to disk cycle. D o y o u think the SMARTDRV.exe might c a u s e t h e c o r r u p t i o n to the *.GIF ? [I have yet to test without using the smartdrv.exe driver] – SPECT
