Quote - We tried all kind of things. We finally took his comp.  back to an earlier time, He also had  a very persistant adware on it, couldn't remove it manually, you might check for that. It seemed to mess with several systems.

 

The adaware thing would not surprise me - but never had the trouble on Bryce 6 (???).  Only other thing I can think of doing is rendering in Bryce 6 and making a obp file to go into Bryce 7 - but shouldn't have to grrrrrr++++!
