Ok bud. I am reading what the other have posted and I must say that I have no problems with vue. I am running an Amdk6-2 400 with 256 megs of ram with a 40gig drive and a 10 gig. Now some of the problems you are talking about come from the fact that the program need alot of room to work, so if you don't have alot of room on the drive it will not run right. Now how did I figure that one out you are asking well when i first got vue i was running it on an 6.4 gig and it locked up all the time and then crashed in the middle of me trying to render stuff. So i took a look at the drive and found that I only had 684 megs left on the drive. So I started to clean the drive up and found that if you have more then a gig of space on the drive and turn the 3d card accelaration down to min it will work find. so give that a try and i for one hope you get the job. Hope this helps if not then let me know via the mail thing ok??
