Wayne, Thanks as always for your input. I'm still having trouble with compiling with Afega. When using the command, I get no activity at all, so after a while I hit "enter". Then I get a message that says "Some movie. Only two frames." This is the same problem I had last year on my old machines, and somehow we fixed it with the EGASHADE.bat and the proper configuration. If I try to project the two frame movies I get red horizontal dashes on the screen. The renderings show as EGA when I read them with READRND.EXE but they just will not compile. Here are the batch files I have tried. (From page 38 of the PIP project) EGASHADE.bat SET SHADECFG=C:\SHADE2\EGA SET SHADE=C:\SHADE2\RMANSUPT SET shadeRDfile=320,200,10000,13100,256,63,64 SET RIPROGRESS=1 C:\SHADE2\SHADE %1 %2 When configuring AutoSHADE I have chosen option 4 for display and rendering devces every time (EGA choice). I have tried to use a hardcopy rendering device of 256 colors and continuous colors. I have tried rendering with record on, then hardcopy on. I have tried with hardcopy rendering device of #5, none. I have also tried editing line 3 of the EGASHADE.bat as follows- SET shadeRDfile=640,318,2053,2707,256,15,16 (as per p. 31 in AutoSHADE installation and performance guide) SET shadeRDfile=640,318,2053,2707,16,15,16 (wild guess – somewhere in the manuals I read that Afega only understands 16 colors) SET shaderDDfile=640,318,2053,2707,256,15,16 and SET shaderDDfile=320,200,1000,13100,256,63,64 I think I have tried the EGASHADE.bat every way mentioned above with every combination of configuration of AutoSHADE ega with hardcopy rendering devices. I have not tried ADI drivers, but I shouldn't have to, should I? I am confused about the ShaderDDfile (double d) you mentioned, because none of the manuals show a double d. Nothing I have tried works. Please send Kleenex. Thanks again, Tommie
