yeah, XP sucks. Where i work, me and my IT department are part of a group who are totally against XP. Everyone who we have contracts with, wants to use it. We're like "no, you take that piece of crap and you throw it in the bin right now" We have contracts with over 1000 companies in Europe, and every company we (the IT department) have first hand communications with, w've mae sure they DON'T use XP. It does nothing but kill off everyone on the network who uses different OS's and/or different drivers. Anyway, as for my problems... resizing textures, doesn't help : Upating my OS, is a no-go. I have 120 gig of stuff on here, 40 gig is no problem, they are all CD based things, simple reinstallation... the other 80 gig is models, pics, textures, movies, other programs and so on. I have all my harddrives used.. so i cant back up. I think i'll do the old "put a square around everything and export piece by piece in Bryce" routine. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for tips and advice btw, much appreciated. Duck.
