I'm getting alot of crashes rendering 3ds4 animations. I guess it's a display problem, but I'm not sure what to try. Some of the sample animations that are on the CD Rom always crash it (like the dinosaur one). Also when I render an animation, unless it's the very first time after a clean boot, it will crash out. It quits to dos and the screen is black. It is, however possible to issue commands. If I go into 3ds and quit again, the screen returns to normal. I have a #9 64pro card. I've tried several vibrant color depths and resolutions. Does anyone know what I should do or try?? -Scott

Scott: To see if your problem is video related, you might want to try temporarily switching to a generic VESA (yucch!) driver for 3DS and seeing if the problem persists. If so, the next step would be a clean boot and add back in one line at a time until you find the problem. Greg Pyros

Scott: >> crashes I need to have a lot more info for a detailed analysis, but let's start with the basics. Switch your graphics card to VESA and let me know what happens, then try a clean boot if that doesn't work. Sounds like a memory conflict to me. Greg Pyros
