I Just got my copy of 3DS2 yesterday. It installed ok (although I had a bad disk 2 on two of the three machines I tried to back it up on. This is the second Autodesk product that I've had a disk problem with in the last month or so) but it locks up on occasion. I'm using a 386-25 right now (soon to be a 486-50) with a VESA VGA as the normal display and a Targa+ 16/32 as the rendering display and an ADI VTR controller from Lyon Lamb. Sometimes whan I've loaded and rendered a couple of scenes, the system locks up when I right click the mouse to return from the rendering screen. Once today it went into huge characters when I switched to the keyframer and then cold started the machine. My 3DSR1 system set up the same way (except for a Panarender driver for the VGA) works fine and is stable. (I'm using QEMM386 6.0 to provide EMS for Stacker.) Any Ideas?? Chris

It sounds like there's an ADI conflict — something's getting confused after rendering when it re-reads the ADI packets. What are _all_ of the drivers that you're using (display, rendering, VTR, etc> and what's your save-last-image set to (perhaps this is getting confused by Stacker). Please try using just the standard VGA display for the user interface and you might also take Stacker out of the loop for awhile. See if you can reproduce the problem under those circumstances. – G
