I recently purchased a Gateway P590 it has an ATI mach 64 video card w/ 2 meg onboard, I had to download the new Vibrant drivers in order to support my card in 3ds3. when I load up 3d studio it takes about 2 minutes just to initialize which is about 10 times what it was on my 486- 66 , it also takes quite a while to go between the materials editor and the 3d editor. Is there anything I can do to speed things up? My system consists of the following: P5 90 ati mach64 w/2 meg 64 mb ram Vibrants latest driver to support the mach 64 Vibrant Liquid Speed

I wish I could help you! I have also experienced a delay when moving between modules. It began when I switched from a Diamond Stealth Pro to an ATI Mach 32. Where you using a ATI card before? Scott Lunsford

Yes, the Vibrant drivers have some problems with the ATI. Download the new drivers as they are better. Though it still takes a while to load, it doesn't have the delays when switching between modes. I also have problems when running 3D Studio and later loading Windows. In my computer, I have to cold boot otherwise it locks up while loading Windows.
