Evening to you Lenord.....

Thanks for all your input thus far....

Let me clarify so as you don't get the impression that I'm not savy on certain things....When using the word hack I meant it was a bogus copy of Apo as I found out their was some out their that were not legit copies...I new what hack meant in the terms you used....I should have explained better and used a different term in describing my issues..Basically when I 1st found the program it didn't seem right from the get go after downloading and installing...i should have known the minute I opened it when upon doing so my pc went dark for about 1 minute and when it came back all my icons on my desktop were missing...and when i attempted to reboot it would not shut down until I unpluggeg it from the outlet...right then i knew i had a problem and when i finally did reboot my virus program started singing.....lol...funny as I explain this now but then....not so much....lol...anyways after running my pc repair it trashed the virus into the abyss and my pc was back to normal.....that's what i meant was that what I thought was a good safe source for getting the Apo program turned out to be a pirate site that tricked me and I'm assuming many others into believing they were getting a leggit copy...Hope this clears up what i was trying to explain before...I did download and instal the link for apo3d and am getting a crash course on were I left off prior to all the issues I stated ..soon to be posting fractals once again...and I do have a few questions but will wait until later before troubling you anymore...Thanks once again Len!
