I promised myself I would steer clear of any more soap-box action, and I plan to stick to it...but I do want to offer up this suggestion given to me by James (timefighter here in the Galleries), which I have found to be of great assistance thus far. After having done as he details below, not only do I have the ability when working in some moderate size test scenes to select/scale/move, etc items in any of the four views, I was also able to load my latest render into 6IF(yess, there are faeries...yiiikes!, but it IS a gift for my niece...LOL) that I was forced to do in 5I due to the problems I was having in 6IF. It is quite sluggish...and the resources did drop quite significantly, but at least it is a start. So from hereon out...hoping that e-on will correct these ummm...issues...'-)...i will continue to build in 5I and then "attempt" to load into 6IF to take advantage of it's special features.

Below is what James suggests...

"I had similar issues until I completly removed all traces of Vue6 Infinite from my computer and then installed a new fresh copy in a completly different directory. As soon as I did this, the similar problems that you are experiencing stopped. I suggest that you try (if you ahve not already)..."

I hope this may help someone else here as well,
Steve
