thefixer,
I did not reffer to you in that tone. I was relating a RL experience, which was amusing, and also, ironically true of all of us!!

how often have any of us installed something, like antivirus, only to find it kludged up EVERYTHING else, hm? ;)
Norton comes ot mind there.... :tt2:

Vue5 Infintie sucked, it took 6 months for it to become stable, ughhhhh!

No I can't afford, if it doens't work, but this and gaming are about all I have left.
I realize it's just software, it ain't life or death. I know it's a son of a bitch for the E-On folk to fix. I know they don't have the money thus staff to have a bazillion guys fixing stuff.
I do know they listen and fix thiungs, from reporting bugs to 'em myself.

If you are a studio/commercial enterprise you should buy the commercial maintenance plan, if not, and we have some bugs, so what? Does Vue WORK? well yes. It screws up the Poser textures, so use Vue materials instead :)

the difference between folk who have little problems, and a lot of them, is so profound there must be a common cause.
I'd suspect one is a serious memory leak they've had since Vue5 infinite, it seems ot have went down as they fix things, and up with each new full version.

Hence I can load a complex scene at say 75%, resources and then it goes down to 45% in a short time.

least with 8 gig RAM, you can not only load such scenes, but the memory leak seems lessened.
Somehow it seems tied to OPENGL in Vue.
I'd suggest you go to wireframe mode in your displays and try that? :)
