I'm having a problem with creating a .FLI in the keyframer. Whenever I try, 3DS4 renders the first frame, then halts rendering with the message: "Can't create temporary file: C:\3DS4\TEMP\$FLIW1$.TMP". I have ensured that the directory is there and is listed properly in the 3DS.SET file, have tried various system-boot configs, but 3DS4 simply refuses to write this file. Does anyone have any idea why this is going on? I don't feel like manually creating 60-frame animations from .GIFs. 🙂 Thank you, Chase Dahl (serial number information available)

have you checked to see how much Hard drive space you have? It sounds like your full.

Chase, Is there enough room on your C: drive? Mark

>> enough room on your C: drive? Yep…160 megs. What is odd is that the Fast Preview makes FLIs just fine, but when I try to render with the RENDER command, it gives me the "Can't create temporary file" message. Weird, huh? BTW, this does this under clean boots AND boots with that wacky memory manager, QEMM 7.5. Chase

3DS still doesn't work with DOS. I installed it in a WARP-DOS-Box then it works. What's that?? Ernst

It was just a statement. I solved the problem by setting the files in config.sys to more then 40. Exactly!
