Iloco:

You are absolutely right ... many people do not speak up about their problems. Or heck, even know about these forums or use them. I have no problem posting about the problems I have with Vue -- as many of you know. ;) But, even I had given up and left this forum for some time.

In any case, I think the problems are much more rampant with Vue Pro than almost any other 3D app, especially among the "professional grade" apps. I wish we could do polls here (among other things).

Guitta: You wrote, "Of course it should work for everybody, but I believe that it would work on a completely clean machine with nothing running in the background."

This begs the question, why other complex software (AE, Bryce, 3DS Max, Edius, Particle Illusion, etc.) NEVER crash or have any of these problems, doesn't it? I really apprecaite your input and help on a lot of issues, but sometimes your objectivity (or lack thereof) is severely impacted your hyper-enthusiam for E-on products. I think Iloco (and others) has more than explained adequately why there is indeed a problem with Vue and not the user or user machine.

In any case, we'll find out soon enough. I have three new machines coming in by next week. I will test this theory on the best of them (P4 3.4GHZ HT, 2 GIG RAM, 240GB RAID 0, RADEON 9800 DDR, etc.) I will be doing a clean install and have nothing on there except the very basics. I will install Vue first, test it, then begin adding my video editing and other apps.
