Yes, I have DirectX 6.1 which installed with Carrara. I ran all of the system tests through DirectX and everything seems to be working fine. Ummm, Clint? I've uninstalled and re-installed 3 different times and it didn't change anything. Wyrwulf, I had done that automatically because I've had problems with other programs and definitely learned my lesson there ;-) Thanks for your help, guys. I guess I'll have to wait until after the holidays and contact MC support. Marybeth
