Robert — I have to apologize: I've lost track of our messages. Did this get cleared up? I have your message as follows: "Nik, Should have mentioned that I had shortened the path down to: "c:\;c:\dos;c:\bat" and that didn't change anything.. Also had been running the "/e:512 line" much higher(at 1024 and 2048) until a friend suggested lowering it.. Within my QEMM-386 V 6.02 (in manifest) it also suggested lowering it.. Even at 1024, CHAOS still doesnt load proper from 3DS. "…by the way, Was my config.sys and Autoexec.bat info all over your screen or in neat rows? I looked at it in my .log file and apologize if it was downloaded all bunched up.. tried for a clean look.. Also….. Do you know that the note I forwarded to you on Feb 2 thru E-Mail just before you went away was never answered by anyone…(the section about Mac .dxf files is solved) the other questions are still relevant.. Finally, any 3DS users groups in Montreal? Would love to share all the blood and sweat I'm still going thru with others who are local .. (should this conversation have been held in the 3D studio section? regards from defrosting Montreal…" Could you tell me what the problem is? It sounds as though you can't run CHAOS from the pull down PROGRAM in 3DS, and that you've tried the usual (clean bootup as well?). Is this correct, and are you still unable to run? Also, I have some checking to do to see if I've filed the Email you mention. Off hand, I don't recall receiving it. I don't know about Montreal's 3D Studio Users groups, but I will check here at Autodesk to see if we have anything. My apologies for not responding to this. I will look out for your reply, and also I'll mail you regarding the Montreal User Group info when I find something out. Nik

From Robert Smith 72640,1306 to Nik Grant [Asoft] 70421,76 Hi Nik… to recap my problem: 4 out 5 programs in CHAOS wont load properly when I call it up from the program menu in 3DS, but they do when I leave 3DS, go directly into the CHAOS dir and type CHAOS.. However, if loaded from 3DS the Menu buttons in the CHAOS programs are garbled until I exit and go to the Toy Universes program. then all the other menu buttons are ungarbled. …weird! .Is it something that is wrong in the CHAOS program ? As for my Feb 2 note I've sent it E-Mail to you again since it's a bit long and asks a few more questions about 3D studio..
