I have a question about executing Animator Pro. Sometimes it takes a VERY long time load up. Seems to be related to how many network locations my machine is connected to, and maybe something to do with wheather or not I have an EMS manager loaded? I've seen it take as long as 3 or 4 minutes to load up in some cases, especially when it rifles through all the 6 platters in my CD changer. What makes it take so long? Is there a way to speed it up with command line switches or something? Or maybe an ideal boot-up configuration that it likes? It has never FAILED to start up, just sits there forever sometimes. -Jeff

I had the same problem, and even though ANI is HIMEM.SYS compatible, my program loads way faster without it in the CONFIG.SYS file. So does 3DS3. For what it's worth. -dave
