The whacky colored text is a bit more than cosmetic, at least in my case. I first notice there is a problem when all of a sudden I can't move the object I was just moving a second ago. Then it does a time delayed jump. Then blank tan squares and rectangles appear wherever I clik the mouse. Then the last render won't clear and I know my only choice is to save the file and close the app. Then yup, there it is, the whacky text in the drop down menus. I should be thankful that it's only the app locking up and not my system. But I can only work in Vue for about ten minutes at a time. Very very frustrating. I'm running Win98se on a 556 celeron with 318 megs ram and a Rage 128 Pro. All my drivers are current and I have all open GL in Vue disabled. 4.1 Has this been happening to anyone else?
