What kinds of problems have you all been having when upgrading to release 4? I will be upgrading soon. I would like to know about potential problems and how to correct or avoid them. I have noticed some messages regarding video driver problems. The way to correct them appeared to be to rename the R3 vibrant files and not overwrite them. That way one would still have them if the new drivers didn't work. I also noticed threads regarding error messages. These seemed to occur when R4 files were installed over R3. Any other problems that I should be aware of.

Hi Chris, >> What kinds of problems have you all been having when upgrading to release 4? << Some cards are apparently not supported by the newest Vibrant drivers. Nik Grant [Adesk], I believe, is compiling monthly lists of problems to be given to Vibrant. I had a problem with the new Vibrant flic driver for my card (an S3 801/805 compatible), but I am able to use the VESA compatibles driver. People running networks have had trouble when installing R4 on some machines while leaving R3 on others. Need to do all R3 or all R4. This is all I'm aware of so far. I really love the IK and the faster screen redraws. The fast preview is slow, but it has it's usefulness at times. Have yet to touch scripting. My brain is pretty full as it is. Paul S.
