"OpenGL shows strange colors/artefacts; program crashes just after starting: This is caused by a faulty OpenGL driver. You can solve the problem by disabling OpenGL (select menu File | Options and uncheck Use OpenGL ). If you'd rather use OpenGL, check the website of your video board manufacturer for a driver upgrade. Please note that your video board may work fine with other applications but not in Vue, because these applications are not multi-threaded. If you cannot get hold of a driver that corrects the problem, follow the steps of the "Program Crashes Randomly" troubleshoot in the User Manual. Alternately, you can search for the OpenGL part of your video board driver (usually opengl something, or ogl something dll's) and get rid of it, so that Windows will use the default OpenGL32.dll dll instead. The only currently known issue is with the latest GeForce 3 based video boards. The driver doesn't support multithreaded drawing. You should uncheck the "Use background draw thread" option in the Options dialog to fix the problem." -------------------------------------------------- It's looks like the same type of problem, even though it's a Geforce 2, not a Geforce 3. -SMT

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
