pdxjims stated: "Every problem with P5 has been documented here by many different users under many different systems. These problems are real. It's been over a year since P5's release, and major problems still remain." That is why I just stopped trying to solve the problem P5 not being able to render more than 20 frames at a time. I am going to be building a new system this year. I plan to get it set up with the OS (Win2K) and necessary drivers and software [but not Anti-virus software, since it has been blamed for some of of P5s problems]. Then I am going to install P5 and see if it can render the animation.
