Hi Jonas, Thanks for the quick response! Is the ADI driver you mentioned from Vibrant their DL-Xpress ADI Display-list package or an SVGA/VESA type ADI driver? As mentioned, I have the Vibrant DLXpress for my ATI VGA Wonder XL24, which is nice in that it gives me 24-bit render output, but alas, it worked fine on R1 but crashes on R2 when changing screens (usually from the Editors to the Material or when trying to view a file or flic). It is supposed to be the newest version for R2 as far as I know (09/93). I've been using my Targa+64 if I need 24-bit output after losing some work from the crashes :-\ I'll take a look at FLIP.ZIP and see if I can read it into R2. So far, any R3/R4 stuff I've seen in the forum I've tried to skip. I did however download a couple of R3 IPAS etc. not knowing what revision they were for. On a slighly different note (perhaps I should ask this in the proper forum area, but since I have your ear), will Adesk be sending out upgrade notices to those of us with Animator for the Animator Studio? (I have Animator, A-Pro 1.0 and A-Pro 1.3) It looks like a rather decent package from the bit I've read. (I took a quick look in the Animator area here and only found the standard press release info). Thanks, David R. Green Li'l Chips Systems

<< Is the ADI driver you mentioned from Vibrant their DL-Xpress ADI Display-list package or an SVGA/VESA type ADI driver? >> I'm not familiar with the Vibrant offerings for R2/R1 users. I'll have to ask them for some feature specs to upload into the lib. In the meantime, Chuck from Vibrant may still login before monday.. jonas
