In Release 2 we had a similar problem. Here is what we found out for Release 2: Error in line: Weld-Threshold – 0.0001 ———————————————————————- [SYMPTOMS] ———- This error occurs during initialization of 3D Studio. It usually indicates that the Weitek math-coprocessor has worked it's way out of the socket. If there is no Weitek math-coprocessor, it may be pointing to a math co-processor which has failed, or is failing. [SOLUTION] ———- If a Weitek chip is present, first run the diagnostic utilities that come with the math-coprocessor. Secondly, open the CPU and make sure the chip is seated properly in its socket. They have been known to work their way out through thermal expansion. If there is no Weitek, you should still run diagnostic tests on the math-coprocessor. The system may have fried the math-co somehow. **** Is it possible something similar is happening? -Brian
