Can anyone help? I am have just started to use 3D Studio, with my Kurta Tablet configured for 'relative' mode. I am using a VGA monitor in single screen mode. All works well until until I use the renderer. Rendering proceeds as normal, but my keyboard and tablet lock up. I cannot use the space bar to toggle to the 'rendering in progress' screen, and I cannot 'ESC' back to the 3D Editor after rendering. I lock up completely, and I can't even get back to a DOS prompt with a three fingered salute. Only the power switch is of any use. All works fine if I just use the cursor keys, so the problem almost certainly lies with a conflict between Kurta's TSR driver and 3DS. Kurta claim their driver to be Microsoft Mouse compatible, and it works well … until I use the Renderer. I enclose the relavent lines from my 3DS batch file: SET PATH=%PATH%;F:\ani;C:\kurta k_mark k_isps k_change -sc:\kurta\aa.sam f: cd \3ds 3DS k_change -r AA.sam is the scaling and macro file which I use for Animator. It gives me no problems with Animator, and should work with 3DS too. I am using KURTA IS PENSMITH Version 6.2Z which is compatible with Microsoft MOUSE.COM Version 6.2. If anyone can help me here, it will save me an international call to Kurta. Thanks Andrew Bichard.
