lockup during -=> *.FLC
1 messages in this thread
Also, I've had a strange situation of late: after installing an upgrade to 32MB
of RAM, rendering 'test show-me' examples on 256-color *.FLC format hangs at a
random frame sometimes – other times works like a charm (I'm rendering to NULL
output device – i.e. no display). Any other format including all of the
16.8M-color *.JPG and *.TGA formats work perfectly every time! (no matter how
many frames I render) The only symptom is finding the monitor with a
"Rendering…" bar on-screen in a dead mode, with no response from <ESC> or any
other keyboard entry (well – <CTRL><ALT><DEL> seems to work <g>…) at all. The
hardware is standard generic – 486/66 VLB with 2GB cached hard drive (BTW –
disabling the hardware cache has no effect), Orchid F1280VA/VLB w/2MB memory
installed, double-speed CD/ROM and all the other neccessities, including a real
Microsoft Mouse/2. This happened on _rare_ occasion before the upgrade, but
now with great regularity. Also I use QEMM v7.04 for VM. This *never* happens
if I install the Hercules Graphite/Pro VLB w/2MB RAM in place of the Orchid,
but it's a real PIA to swap the two between the office and home machines,
because I have to switch drivers for Windows, God and everything… Any ideas
on this one?
