Bill..... Vue 3.1 was a full version, not an upgrade. Vue 4 was a full version also not an upgrade...it couldnt work together, so I HAD to uninstall 3.1. The conflicts were some kind of mfc/d? errors..it couldnt find the necessary files... I have NO programs running in the background when I run vue. No firewalls, no antiviral...nada. Believe it or not..I had to uninstall it and reinstall it 8 times for it to stay stable....and also had to reinstall poser over the top of my original install to get vue to recognise my poser.exe. The patches needed were 4.01 FIRST, and then 4.02b after that....without the 4.01....vue would generate massive errors and refuse to start. Now...the system it runs on is : Windows 2000 (dual boots with w98se) on a Intel 600e coppermine chip with 784mb SD pc133 ram. 32mb GeForce 2 card with open GL and it doesnt have any problems there. No screensavers, sounds, special effects...nothing except systray and vue 4....yet it crashes big time when I import a pz3 due to BUM difficulties. These aren't BUM files on the clothing either....the BUM files are on the skin textures themselves. I often use high res skin textures, so I am very very disappointed with this problem. Also...I bought the extra vegetation bundle when I had vue 3.1...... but it will not work with vue 4 cos the serials dont match.... remember I won a full version of Vue4, and the plants are registered to my previous version. So, they are part of the reasons I am not impressed at all, at this moment in time. I honestly hope that e-on will sort this whole thing out. I can understand everyones frustrations, especially hein's over the stability issues. I can honestly say that I did not have ANY stability issues under w2k with vue 3.1. I did have under my 98 partition, but that is why I went to the trouble of getting the dual boot....to dispense with that, and it worked beautifully. I can only hope that e-on will sort this nightmare out asap. If not, I can tell you all right now, I will uninstall vue 4 and go back to vue 3.1....without any hesitation. In all honesty....it will not take much more to make me do it either.
