Hi gang, it's me again- problems seem to come in bunches. Since using Rel.3 (which I is great) I experienced episodes of screen flickering when un hiding objects by name in the keyframer. THe screen would flicker in muted pastel colors for several seconds- quite pretty, actually. I thought I could live with this. However, I just installed a network and encountered the same problem when making any adjustment in the queue dialog. The flickering is for a much longer period, maybe 15-20 seconds, and makes this important dialog box almost impossible to use. My workstation is a 486-66 with 32 mb Ram. The VGA card is a Genoa 8500 series- has anyone else encountered this problem ? Rudy

Rudy, Check out the thread "3DS3". You will find people with the same problem, my problem went away with a different video card. -Ralph

I've had this as well on my portable, using the Vibrant VESA driver. I've also read about a few others, so it's no doubt a real bug, probably in the driver.
