Ingo, I am still a little confused as to which .bat file to use… >> CFGALL.BAT cfig386 3ds -clear -swapchk ON -minswfsize 400000 -minreal ffffh cfig386 3ds -maxreal ffffh -intmap 08h -vscan 20000 -swapdir g:\temp cfig386 3ds -maxx FFFFFFFFh << Each of these is different, are they one file or seperate ones? I have 32 meg ram and 500 meg hd, what is the minimum I should have free for other applications? Can I allocate 28 MB to 3ds, and leave 4 MB for other apps like Animator Pro? Thanks for all your help. James Franssen

James, it is one file wich you can start as any other program under DOS. I will upload some sample batch files, because this is not the place to give you a DOS-Basic-Training. You sould do this, and your life get much easier with your PC. Note that you MUST change the -SWAPDIR pathsetting in a ASCII editor like EDIT from DOS. >>I have 32 meg ram and 500 meg hd, what is the minimum I should have free for other applications? It depends how much RAM the other application and 3DS need. >>Can I allocate 28 MB to 3ds, and leave 4 MB for other apps like Animator Pro? Exact this is what the batchfiles will do. Copy the Files in your 3DS directory. Example: You want to run 3DS for the next week with 15 MB RAM so there are 17 MB RAM free for other applications. Just type CFG15MB.BAT at the DOS prompt and then start 3DSHELL. If you want that 3DS use all memory, type CFGALL.BAT and start 3DSHELL and so no… With the -MAXX setting you can create every memory configuration you want. Take care Ingo
