Hi There,
I work for a large computer dealer, and recently we purchased two eval
copies of 3D-Studio 2.0. I have been using it for a while, trying to
thoroughly learn it as we are going to become a dealer. Anyway, I have a
Gateway 2000 486/33 with 20Mb Ram, 200Mb HD. I have an ATI Graphics Ultra
with 1Mb. I just purchased DL-Xpress from Vibrant Graphics, and have it set
for 1024x768x16 for the main displays and 640x480x256 for Materials Editor.
RCPADI is set for Generic Vga 320x200x256 and RDPADI is set for
800x600x256. The problem I am having is that the system locks up or reboots
whenever I try and use the Preview function in the Keyframer. One time I
got the error: Abnormal Program Termination: Illegal instruction CS:EIP =
0DE7h:00000026h
Also, the ADI driver came with a patch program to fix a bug with release 2
and adi drivers, which I ran. If you have heard of anything like this
please let me know, as this is very frustrating. It happens everytime I try
and use the Preview function.
Thanks much Dave Mennenoh 71561,2343
I know of no problem running the ATI Ultra, and have never heard of the
patch you're referring to. Have you talked to anyone at Panacea about
this?
One thing that _could_ be hanging you up is the fact that your RCPADI
devices is set to generic VGA, and your RDPADI device is set to
800x600x256. RCPADI is usually the SVGA rendering device, and RDPADI is
usually a second frame buffer, such as a Targa+. You could try dropping
RDPADI completely and establishing the 800x600x256 mode as your RCPADI
device.
