Following up on the problem I had before regarding stack fault errors with Phar Lap: The memory address is almost always at a different location. Bare Bones configuration does nothing different. I have the addresses, if you need them. -Art

"stack fault errors with Phar Lap: … Bare Bones configuration" It's odd that a bare bones config does the same. Does "bare bones" mean the same to you as it does to me? (Brian and I differ slightly on this one.) It helps if you have DOS 6. If so, boot up with the F5 function key trick -press it once when you see the "Starting MS DOS…" message. Go to your DOS directory, run SCANDISK or CHKDSK /F in all the directories used by 3DS. Start 3D Studio – I don't think the mouse is needed for this diagnostic approach. You can <Q>uit and <Y>es to get out by keyboard. Has 3D Studio been changed in any way (e.g. running CFig386)? It might be worth while reinstalling. Also, are you doing anything special with Liquid Speed or the Vibrant drivers?

(I have a Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM)
