Hmmm. Stay away from ATI, eh? Just goes to show. everyone's experience is different!I've used 3 different computers with ATI cards since I started using Poser with Poser 1 (& I like the All-In-Wonder line). I've never had an ATI-related problem, that I known of. I once had lockups on graphic-intensive activities, but traced that down to a hinky installation of a crappy version of DirectX (version7, I think) - After an incredible amount of trouble I managed to obliterate DirectX 7, & re-installed the last version of DirectX 6. problems gone. If you suspect it might be related, there's a "secret" utility for WIN98 (on the Install disks) that's usually not installed by default. It's called DXDIAG.EXE - does a pretty thorough job of testing any version it understands. If you can't find it with a File-Find on the WIN98 distrib disk, or in the windowssystem folder, you can probably get it off microsoft's tech support sites.
