I am having a problem where I can not view certain images or materials. Iget a black screen instead, but if I render an Image than I can view images an materials. Any idea what could be causing this? I also am getting an error when I try to render over the network. The job fails and when I check the error log it says Logged Still Errors. If anyone has any information on either of these problems I would greatly apreciate it allot. Thanks, Mike Pontrelli

Any idea what could be causing this? I'm not sure I understand the problem. Are you saying that sometimes you can view them, sometimes you can't? Or specific images you can never view? Since renderings always appear to work for you, it doesn't seem like the graphics card or drivers, which is my usual suspect in these cases. Please give me more info, perhaps I can lend a guess or two. Greg Pyros

The problem is that I can not view some images until after I render, for example if I try to open image "A" all I get is a black screen, but then I render something, not even the same image just as long as I render then I have no problems viewing anything afterwards, I hope this is a better description, and thank you for responding.

Mike: >> as long as I render then I have no problems viewing anything afterwards… Sounds like a video driver problem, or perhaps a memory conflict, but I'd vote for the former. Change it to a generic VESA for a test and see if it still happens. Greg Pyros
