Thanks, I'll try rebooting. Why doesnt e-on offer the last stable patch as well as the beta, anyway? Seems silly.

I've noticed a couple other wierd things too. My main machine is a 3ghz 1gb, my wireless is a 1.5ghzM with 256m ram. When network rendering the 1.5ghzM is 80-90% as fast as my 3ghz. I'm wondering if my PC is underperforming or what...

I've had V5i only a few days and am amazed at what it can do. Couple crashes here or there, but I had a scene with a 30 billion poly ecosystem and it ran just fine!
