Can anyone help with the following problem? One of our artists recently ungraded to a Video 7 WIN.PRO vesa 24 bit graphics card. He was running Ani Pro 1.0 with no problems. Yesterday I upgraded him to Ani Pro 1.3 and when he goes to SETTINGS and then SCREEN SIZE and chooses a resolution greater than 320×200, Ani Pro crashes out to DOS with ABNORMAL PROGRAM TERMINATION: PAGE FAULT CS:EIP=000Ch:000B1E98h The WIN.PRO card has its Vesa driver built into the card, and works fine with the likes of 3D Studio 2.01, etc. I downgraded him back to Ani Pro 1.0 and it doesn't crash. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem, and do Autodesk have a fix for this crash bug??? Thanks Gary Sheinwald BITS

Gary, The Abnormal Program termination error means there was a memory conflict occuring at some point, most likely with the VESA driver. Is there a way to load the VESA driver from the video card into a different address? That would most likely solve your problem. -Brian
