Hi Warren, << sound like bad RAM?? or bad setup?? >> Does this happen on the first frame? I'm assuming that you did the 3ds vibcfg and verified all of your graphic card choices? Does switching to vesa compatibles in vibcfg get you goin'? jonas[adesk]

Jonas, Thanks for your quick reply. I have tried every combination and re-configuration from plain VGA to setings with the proper drivers for the Tseng Labs ET4000/w32 chip set 640x480x256. Everything worked on a previous identical computer (Mitac- from Fry's) Pent/60, 8mRAM, PCI W32 1meg. The fan on the CPU of the old computer was not hooked and the CPU fried after 2 weeks. when it was working 3ds worked fine. Fry's gave me a new computer out of the box. same hardware. when I loaded 3ds is when the problem started with the page fault errors. Other programs, windows, heavy graphics heavy ram use, etc. work fine. I am rendering BIRDWLK3.3DS, It fails on the first frame sometimes, sometimes on the eight frame, or the eleventh. I have never gotten beyond the eleventh. the results is the same for other canned *.3DS's Bad or incompatable video card??? H – e – L – p Warren
