3D Studio locks up

I have 3D Studio rel four, and sometimes I the program locks up, saying that the hardware lock is missing, and asking me to save my .prj file. I do have the hardware lock on the machine properly, with no loose connections. I don't know if it is the program, or the hardware lock itself, or if it is the weather, which has been quite hot and humid these past few days. Sometimes the proogram can go for hours without the problem, and sometimes it comes up every five minutes. How can I fix this, if it is the program or the lock, and if it is the weather, what should I do to keep it from doing that? It is really annoying when I am trying to work, when you have to load the program back up every five minutes. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. -Dano (Vicki's son)

Vicki, There is a paper in the libraries which talks about HW lock problems. Download HWLOCK.TXT from the 3D Studio library. -brian
