Thanks very much rjay, for update info and input! I reinstalled an older version of Bryce 6 and have had absolutely no problems at all except for the fact that I can not open or import any of the new presets that I purchased from DAZ (Clay Trees, Desert Scenes, JARSM Terrains,etc.. )So I guess I'll just try to keep this going until they straighten everything out. And once again thanks! Cheers ;^} Michael
