Help!!!! I keep getting dumped out of lightwave. I'm rendering a simple animation. My Amiga crashes and I get a red flashing message…. Software Failure Error: 8100 0005 Task: 0023ECD0 I have 13 meg and a '030 GVP What should I do ? More mem?

Wesley, More memory is probably not the solution. One possible problem MIGHT be mixed 32 & 16 bit memory?? More likely, you've got a CIA out of whack, (8520a) the odd one. Also you can try re-installing your Software, and if you've got either Quarterback Tools or Ami-Back Tools (Must have's) run the file checker to make sure you don't have a file that's mangled somewhere. Later, Jim

Jim Two things. 1. What is a CIA? 2. Where do I get one of the tools programs. Here in a library or are they commercial? Thanks, Wes

The CIA (there are two of them) are chips which control several functions on the Amiga. On the 2000 you need to take out the power supply and disk drive frame to get at them. I'd reccomend getting the Amiga Emergency Startup Kit from Grapevine, which has a bunch of diagnostic charts and software as well as tools and chips. Re: Tools, Both Quarterback Tools and Ami-Back Tools are decent progams available commercially. They optimize your Hard Disks, check for errors and find deleted files for restoration. They are both good. Later, Jim
