ShadowWind,
replicated your observations on XP, the handles just go up and up. Somebody posted a few months ago, that when they loaded a bitmap texture they got the GDI imagelist of current icons/cursors/buttons and that reminded me that I'd written some code that caused that problem once. It was to do with GDI resources being low, but it wasn't because I wasn't releasing them, it was because I was destroying handles that belonged to the system and not my app, but was incorrectly documented in the Win32 SDK. I eventually found the answer hidden somewhere in the MSDN knowledgebase, but I can't for the life of me remember what API call caused the problem :( Anybody know where I can buy some new, reliable, memory for my head?
Anywho, that also would explain why some of us have problems and others don't, it's workflow related. I plan on paper, model in Anim8or, animate figures in Poser and don't do much moving of objects at all in Vue, I already know where and how I want things so movements, rotations and scaling in one of my scenes are probably minimal compared to most people.
I really hope this thing is cracked soon, I get a huge amount of fun out of Vue and it really spoils it that others are so unhappy with it.
