thanks for your help! Hmm.. I guess it will take a week! I'm at 1600x1200 right now, and it says it will take about 3 hours... SHEESH! And I DON'T have a slow machine either! 1.6Ghz, 512Mbs But when I tried to render to disk, everything just seems to dissappear... or Vue seems to lock up.. wtf? Maybe I have something set wrong? What are the settings you usually use? Kltuzo
