Ok, now I have the CRT, it's the first time I have one to work with Bryce. As someone just said yesterday (heheh, you were right!) I'm already pushing the limits, so my renders are long as before haha. Stupid Question #1: is it possible to turn off the monitor while I'm rendering overnight? That's because, to assing priority to Bryce in XP, the CPU is never idle and so the auto stand-by never takes in. Stupid Question #2: I don't have it right now, but wait 'till tomorrow... :-) LOL Thanx in advance, Stefano
