Deerpath, Do the ultimate test...on a different partition or a second drive in your system, install a fresh, second copy of Windows (just rename the directory it prompts you to store Windows in - ie. "Windows2"). I say again, "onto a DIFFERENT partition or a 2nd drive". Then install Vue onto that second copy of windows. Nothing else. Patch it with Update 3. Test it out without using OpenGL. Then with OpenGL. If it still crashes under OpenGL, then OpenGL is the problem. If it crashes when NOT in OpenGL, then Windows98 install is the problem. If it works fine, except in OpenGL, then your original install of Windows98 is corrupted, and you need to rebuild your system (ie. "c:format.com" & re-install all your apps). Sittingblue, You don't need that MemStat application, "NT Task Manager" will do the same thing, even show you the graphs. Under XP, right click on the task bar, or do "Ctrl-Alt-Del", and select "Task Manager". Happy Tinkering... JoeK
