Help, All of a sudden I have periodic "spurious?" lines running across the viewports in the Editor and the Keyframer. The lines are not signal interference of any kind. They seem to be generated from the meshes themselves. They appear in any number of situations such as after a bolean operation, mapping, modual change (Mat Editor to Editor etc..). A sceen redraw will take them off the screen. I have years of experience with 3DS, ADesk MM Dealer and all and have never seen this before. It happens with any project or mesh file loaded and with no particular set of circumstances. It only happens on one machine and when the project files are transfered to a different machine the lines do not appear. Does this sound like corrupted 3DS program file/files? Anyone recognise this? Thanks in advance! Randy Jackson, ComWorks

Randy, About a year ago I had a similar-sounding problem — tracked it down to the '93 model Diamond Viper VLB I was using. Replaced the card and all was fine. BTW, that Diamond was replaced under warranty but never used since I'd bought another in the meantime. If you're interested, email me for a good price… SCL
