Toshiba 6400 Active Matrix display. Vibrant Driver was OK with 3DS V3 for playing flics. For some unknown reason I am getting mostly grey playback of flics (not full color) as in V3. Isuspect driver choices are the cause, although rendering still images is just fine. Can you help please. Also, any direction as to the best way to take my relatively slow laptop 486/50 Toshiba TFT above (has 1 full slot available), and make it into a faster 3DS V4 machine. Please keep in mind that I have ordered Animator Studio for this machine also. Thanks Jerry

Jerry, >>Toshiba 6400 Active Matrix display>> I haven't put r4 on my T6400 yet and my Tosh is slightly older than yours (T6400DXC/33) but I will try it in the next day or so and tell what happens. How are you configuring 3DS in VIBCFG? Are your problems with newly rendered flics or displaying flics previously rendered on R3. Do the same flics play OK through Aniplay? You can put any Graphics card (ISA) in the T6400 full length slot and display to an external monitor but unfortunately, doing this cuts out the TFT screen – until the card is removed! Not very useful. John [Redfern Animation, Argyll]

Release 4 works with VESA mode in the Toshiba 6400. I had to use one for a trade show before R4 shipped, and it worked fine. Just make sure that after you select the VESA driver for FLIC playback, you choose the "Add 256 Color Drivers" option. That way, you can play back any normal FLIC on the TFT. Jh
