Mike, I don't believe I have *ever* had a crash in 3D Studio Rel 2. Sounds more like a memory problem. All large PharLap-based programs that use floating point, paging and very large amounts of RAM can stress many systems beyond what they would see with other programs. An example: Early 386-16 CPUs had a problem when you used a combination of virtual memory with floating point processing. AutoCAD was the first application to use these features. Thus, it crashed on all these machines. Autodesk got a bad rap, when it wasn't their fault. All the users knew was AutoCAD crashed, while none of their other apps did. I'll bet something 3D Studio does causes problems with your machine. Perhaps you have a bad RAM chip at the top of RAM, or overlapping memory addresses. Ken ///
