I'm using 3DS R3 (with a Hardware Lock installed) on a 486/66 with 32 Mb RAM, with QEMM7 as a Memory manager, and an ORCHID P9000 VLB as a Video Board. I'm running an animation that is using 26Mb of Memory (123,234 Faces in 31 objects). I.m using the Network commands to do a series of a FLI and FLC's. Every time its about to end the last FLIC, it crashes sending this message: Mfree error — validity check failure ! ptr1=16327FC, ptr2=16427A8 *ptr1=FFB), *ptr2=8000FFB0 Then, when I press ENTER, this comes up: Abnormal Program Termination: Memory Protection fault CS: EIP=000Fh:000320Dch Can anyone PLEASE tell whats wrong, and, what does the error message mean ? Why do this things always happen on HOLIDAYS ! Rene C.

An Mfree error means that 3D Studio tried to free up some memory and the computer wouldn't allow it. That should NOT happen. How long have you been using 3DS on that machine? – G

The best diagnostic thing for you to try would be to see if you could reproduce the problem from scratch with a new .3ds file on that computer AND on another computer. – G
