It seems to me it would been eaiser  and maybe should still be done to cater to the older xp/2000 people with a version and have one for the higher end people.
 Siince you are a programmer would this be possible........

THANK YOU PAULA and yes I am shoutoing so you can hear me.   This is what we been trying to show some people all the time.  Vue 6 Final will not handle lots of meshes as older version did.
  If I were to load what I use to do with Vue 4.5 Pro it would choke it and crash on loading a scene.

Thanks for the 6 replys so everyone be sure and not miss your comments...................lol
