#HP PC Crashes

Yost Group,
Thaks for the information on the visca card driver. But on the HP PC
problem, we are not using a framebuffer. To give the information again:
HP Vectra 486-66
32 Mb RAM
420 Mb Hard drive
HP Ultra VGA card
Local Bus
Problem: When we render a flic with a resolution of 640X480 or
higher, then ty to view it in 3DS the machine reboots. However, we
can play itin ANIPLAY fine. If you have heard of this problem or any
one has a solution I would appreciate a response
Kevin,
I've had a similar problem with a HP machine. This one didn't
reboot but turned the display to garbage and locked up when I used
vue image. The work round was to render something using 3D Studio
before I attempted to use the view image command. I didn't have to do
this every time I used vue, only before using it first time in a 3DS
session.
As Ian said, he's had similar problems with the HP Vectra. If there's
a problem with the way that machine is initializing it's VGA card,
that could happen. You might wait to see if you can get it working
right with the in-line loadable flic drivers supplied by Vibrant that
come with 3DSr3. Those give you more flexibility regarding how you
address the card (compared to the limited VESA driver in R2).
