Hey Joseph, Sounds like a problem I was having. What is your video driver setup? I've found the only way 3DS will run is in VGA mode for the MAIN-DISPLAY. Just don't ALT-ESC when rendering or in the MATERIALS-EDITOR. If you're desktop is running on the same video card as 3DS, some sort of conflict happens and it all burns down. The way I have it set is MAIN-DISPLAY at VGA, and the desktop at VGA. I have yet to try running the desktop on my VIPER card and leaving 3DS at VGA – that should work – just always remember to render to disc and turn off the display, otherwise you get big time corruption! Let me know if I can help further – I've messed with it for weeks! James
