Try looking for the 103 drivers on our Autodesk Global Village BBS: VIB103.ZIP, in the 3D Studio section, at 415/507-5300. In trying to diagnose your problems, could you try this?: *Boot up plain (CONFIG.SYS: Files=40) (AUTOEXEC: Path, Prompt, mouse) *Run CHKDSK /F on all your hard drives, looking for lost allocation units, etc. *Rename 3DS3\PROJECTS\3DS.PRJ (if you have one) *Copy \3ds3\3ds.set to 3dseliz.set (or whatever, for backup purposes) *Run the Vibcfg – 3ds vibcfg <enter> *Configure the Rendering display for 640x480x16 colors *Once in 3D Studio, Renderer/Setup/Background and choose, say, CRUISER.GIF from the 3DS3\MAPS subdirectory. *Renderer/Render View to disk (even though there's no geometry or lights) If this fails, can you note the process that was occurring at the time of failure? This is a prompt like "Transforming Objects" above the red rendering status line. When you exit 3DS, don't forget to copy 3dseliz.set to 3ds.set, to get back to your original configuration. Did you have any problems installing 3D Studio? Sometimes during the install you may be able to get past an error message, but I was wondering if you encountered anything that would suggest re-installing 3D Studio again. If you decide to reinstall 3DS again, you can use your 3DSELIZ.SET to save configuring again, by copying 3DSELIZ.SET over 3DS.SET.
