Hi, I talked to someone from Autodesk a few days ago on compuserve about a reboot problem I have when trying to read or make a flic. At first I thought it was the driver for my high resolution graphics card (Spea Graphite Hilite). But when I try it with the standard 320×200 rendering option not using the high resolution card but th standard build in PC card I have the same problem. Then I thought it was related to the version of 3Dstudio r2.0 but with r2.01 the problem remains. Can someone help me. Could it be a problem related to an MS.DOS 6.0 incompatibility with the dos-extender or with 3Dstudio ??? Additional info: my Pc is an Olivetti M6-440 Suprema 20MB ram 486dx2 66 overdrive. Hope to get some help. thanks anyway.

I hav the same problem when I do too many edits in the Keyframer, or if I render test files past about 15. I still have the problem even after I added 16MB RAM (more). Does anyone at Autodesk know what this might be? 🙁 This happens at the worst time, right before I wish to save. Alan – Hords of Fun!

I just solved my problem 2 days ago, the problem was external to 3Dstudio, in my Autoexec.bat file I called the vvesa.com file used with the internal ATI card in my PC, the vvesa.com was the following version delivered with my latest PC in may (Vesa Super VGA Bios extension 1.2 (VS911022) implementation 2.01., however if you go to the ATI forum (GO ATITECH) a new driver implementation 2.15 is downloadable since 15 July this one solved my problem, don't know if it is the same as yours, because my PC rebooted without ever starting to read or write a FLC, FLI, etc…. 🙂 hope your card uses also vvesa.com, so watch your drivers because after having had problems with other software, I know a lot of the time drivers are the problem, they conflict sometimes with one another, so try reading only one at a time by putting the REM statement before the others in your Autoexec.bat and in your other batch files. Maybe then you can find the corrupting file. 😀 Christophe

Thx, but nope, don't use that. Tell you what folks… I'll upload my config, autoexec, 3DS.SET files though. How bout the cfig386 statement? 🙂 Alan – HOF!

I don't know but I'll look my 3D.set file up, to see if anything in there can give me a clue to your problem. I'll let you know, by the way what version are you using of 3Dstudio 2.0 or 2.01?? As you say cfig386 could also be the problem, how is it configured for you?? Bzzzz Christophe VO Belgium :-)…
