Mei-Tien, What kind of 486 do you have. I have seen this on machines that are less than the minimum 66 Megahertz machines, which is why we don't recommend using this on 486 50 or 33. This includes chip doubled machines that aren't true 66 or higher. Recommendations – Use smaller brush, or buy a faster machine. It works great on a pentium 90. If you are running on a 486-66, we want to know more. Please post all excruciating details as to your system. Thanks, –marK

>> Animator Studio is so slow when I used the paintbrush. I could only got some dots and once in a while a line or two. Totally unusable! I have a Watcom tablet, the pressure sensitive brush is so SLOW that it is unusable. I have no problem with Painter 3 doing similar things. I have 486 with 16M RAM… Anything I can do to make this better with my computer? << 486/? if it's a 486/33, that might be the problem. I wouldn't recommend AAS on anything slower than a 486/66 actually, but a 486/50 might work. AAS is a powermonster and it want's all available resources. here are three things you can do to speed up the program if your finding the app slow: a) defragment your harddrive regularly b) create a huge permament swap file. for a system of 16MB try a 50MB swap file. c) disable screen savers and other TSRs keep in mind that performance of any windows app is _never_ solely isolated to the speed of the processor. key component… harddisk access time. how fast is your harddisk? are you running speeddisk or other access optimizations? try them. -dave
