post_med update: These are the things I tried to fix the problem, which now can be easily repeated (assuming this is the same problem – but it seems to be as it is a path type problem) by loading CHRMFACE and then from the Materials Editor swapping .SXPs in Texture 1 from MIRA TEAL between one or two other .SXPs until (after changing SXPs two or three times) I get a "Bitmap is not in your path" type message. 3DS is losing the path somehow after successfully rendering once or twice! 1. Moved entire 3ds3 app from D: to C: and adjusted all paths accordingly including -swapdir in cfig386. 2. Took out all drivers from config.sys including HIMEM.SYS so that my final config had only MOUSE in it. Thereby eliminating SMARTDRV and my CD-ROM as variables. 3. Scanned for viruses with latest version of SCAN. 4. Ran CHECKIT w/no reported errors. I can't think of any other thing to do except remove the WEITEK, although I can't believe that my system would have to be hacked apart simply to get 3DS3 to run now that it no longer supports WEITEK but did for V1 and V2. That doesn't make since. Does it? By the way, I didn't mention it, but system is not on a network. Thanks in advance for assistance. – Dave Austin
