Hello all .. I've just installed vue 3 demo. Everytime i start the program i got an error msg and then a crash! the error msg is : VUE3 caused an invalid page fault in module VUE3.EXE at 0167:004fc32f. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=0167 EIP=004fc32f EFLGS=00010206 EBX=00000000 SS=016f ESP=009ced0c EBP=009cf750 ECX=00000000 DS=016f ESI=00000001 FS=408f EDX=00000000 ES=016f EDI=00763553 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: c6 02 00 8b 85 04 fa ff ff 50 ff 15 30 91 55 00 Stack dump: 00000000 853d8082 40bc0317 00000597 00000000 05974b5f 1d3e7d42 40bc0427 00000597 00000000 00004b5f 009cee50 3b6c7f8e 00005a60 7fdf7d52 7fe20147 I got 1gig PIII with 1/2gig RAM . also i have bryce5 and Poser Pro Pack installed without NO PROBLEMS at all! p/s I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it again but i got no chance .. same problem .. sniff sniff :~( Thanks in advance ..

Try installing it with absolutely nothing running except for Explorer and Systray, and then running it without any McAffee or Norton products running in the "background". If that doesn't work, please let us know, as well as E-on support.

You need to be more specific as to when it happens. Does it give you GPF as its trying to open Vue or after it opens and you try to do something? Also what operating system are you running? Vue is extremely Open GL intensive. So if your video driver doesn't offer top notch support there could be problems. There are 2 versions of the 1+ Gig Pentium III's. Many of the earlier version were coupled to boards using an integrated graphic adapter (video built onto the board) as the only chipset for these CPU's was the i815. These boards are notorious for having poor Open GL support in their drivers. If your computer falls into this catagory try disabling the Open GL of the graphic adapter if the driver allows it. The original i815 chipset was originally designed for use in lowend "budget" computer solutions, to save manufacturers money by having most features integrated on to the board. Later versions of the Pentium III based on the .13 micron core generally use the next generation of the i815 chipset. Most of these computers bypass the integrated graphics adapter and use a standard AGP card. The problem comes in that it still requires the graphic data to be routed by the GMC Hub and the I/O Controller Hub which helps with the data bandwidth but provides potential conflict with external cards and their drivers. As a consequence there have been reports of Open GL problems with Pentium III Tualatin (.13 micron core)especially with some versions of cards using the Nvidia's GeForce 3 chipset. So again disable the Open GL if the driver allows it. By the way for anyone thinking of upgrading, you would save money and get better performance with an AMD Athlon then either the Pentium III's or Pentium IV's. 3D rendering is very heavily FPU dependent and frankly the Intel CPU's aren't up to it. Two CPU's running at the same clock speed, one an Athlon the other Intel, the Athlon will render 15-25% faster. Because of the chipset architecture the AMD's have fewer video card issues with the higher end cards. Most manufacturers when they rate their card's speeds use Athlon based computers for that reason.

Well... If that can help you, I had some problem with Vue3 (full release) installed on W2000. It loads ok, but when I tried to create an new landscape, or loading an existing one, it simply crashes. If you're running your computer on W2000 system, this could be the origin of your problem... PS : if there are faults on my message, please, excuse me, I'm french :-)
