"Animator pro refuses to allow any targa + drivers" I am not sure I followed all your information. Are you using the TARGAN.ZIP file drivers to run Animator Pro on your NTSC monitor? You should be able to run your animations, then suck them out to the VTR while they play. To make this work you have to have your Targa card set correctly and the address range it uses excluded with EMM386. I hadn't heard 386-MAX had a problem with DOS 6.2, but maybe it has… Nik

Nik, I buried the soundblaster & all my problems went away. Except of course that the previews are at half sceen size. Any possiblity of getting a 512×486 preview mode. Rick

"Any possiblity of getting a 512×486 preview mode." I think what's happening is that your 320×200 flics are only occupying about 1/4-ish of the 512×486 screen. I don't know of a way around that. I think you'll have to render your creations at 512×486, unless there's something included in the Targa-Animator drivers which permits automatic conversion. Check out ANICONV.EXE in the ANI directory. You can scale the animations up to 512×486, but you'll have to experiment because 320×200 is not an easy multiple of 512×486. You might have to lose data off the edge of the screen. Nik
