Well me is not a happy bunny ppl, i very realy turn my comp off as i leave on all the time and just reboot now and again or when it warrents a reboot. Now i formated my comp last week and then got all the vue pro working well and importing pz3 files sweet. now i updated yesterday with in the vue pro prog itself,was workign ok until i rebooted my comp this morning ,i aint installed any outher prog and blow me im back to where i started vue pro would not even start up this morning,so i uninstalled it and then reinstalled it to see if that helped nope i never,i still cant import pz3 files now and this is realy getting on my proverbila tits lol sorry for any ladys about but it realy is getting me down now as i have so many things i want and need to complete as i said at e-on does this mean that each time vuepro goes pear shaped do i have to reformat my comp just to get the program working right. In any case it should not happen and im very very angry at this point in time as since i got vue pro it hasd been nothing but agro using that danm program end offf rant regards seeklight

This is so strange, I have not had one hiccup....what system are you running? Sharen

lo sharon i am using win xp pro my comp is this 2400 xp athlon 1 gig ddr memeory duel bios motherboard gforce 4 titanium 4600 regards seeklight but it looks like im going to have to reformat again just so i can use pro whcih is bloodey annoying

Maybe you should try a restore instead. Sharen

Reformat seems to be a bit drastic for something like this. Sharen

Does Vue give you any errors when it installs, are you connected to the internet when you install, are all your firewalls and antivirus off when you install. Sharen

I think it has to do with your file system. Can't imagine anything else. Maybe the disk format or the folder structure/names. I had trouble when i used names that my system (Mac) ayllows me but are not standard. And, don't move the program folders after havin them installed. Vue uses absolut file names! only my 2 cents!

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

sorry "path names"

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

Most things in xp pro come down to access rights and permissions, are these set right! just try loging into the administrator account and see vue works from there, if yes then set your access rights to the relevant fouldres, if no then sorry I do not know and will leave to others. Hope this helps. Videodv.

I don't think that these problems that you're having are Vue Pro related. Other things that can cause this are; - bad hard drive - messed up file structures - bad memory - conflicting video driver - an operating system that is messed up - other misc hard- or software problems I don't know how other programs are reacting, but even if they act normal, then still it might not be Vue Pro related.

could be hardware as said above, I often mention excessive temperature on the processor. You maybe can check the temperature of your processor in the Bios, and compare it to "normal" values (can find them on the net if interested) Yves

Max temperature of your processor should be below 60C. A nice temperature seems to be below 50C. Just in case it can help, Yves

lo all thanks for your help i tried all of these and nothing ,so i reformated again lol and then did the install and updates and all is working ok and i can import pz3 but wat i will not be doing for a while is updateing pro as thats when the problems started regards seeklight

Yves, Is 60C a CPU working temp or idle temp you refer to. AMD CPU's can withstand temps of around 75C, and most, if not all, modern AMD CPU motherboards now have automatic shutdown with the Temp set within the Bios settings. A far more accurate way of calculating CPU temp is to reckon that the CPU should run between 15C to 20C above the System temp (motherboard temp) for a properly ventilated system. This is because System temp gives a good basic indication of ambient temp (room temp). After all it is no good telling someone to keep theer CPU temp below 60C when they could live in a country that has a daytime temp of 40 - 50C ;-) One other thing, is to get a system monitor application that checks temps within Windows. Checking in the BIOS will give you no reading of what the CPU temp is "under load"...a time when heating issues may rear their ugly heads. Cheers

--------------- A life?! Cool!! Where do I download one of those?---------------

I had varying problems with my system that were driving me crazy. Very odd stuff. Then my system eventually failed to boot. I swapped components like and figured that it was the motherboard. After ordering a replacement motherboard and rebuilding everything. The new machine booted up fine and then started acting "flakey". The net result is the motherboard was fine - I had a bad processor on my dual processor system. This just showed me that instead of checking 90% of my components I should have checked them all. If you are reformatting and continue to have massive problems - - - I'd tend to blame a faulty piece of hardware before VUE or system software. In any event, I hope you solve your problem soon. At times computers can seem to be put on this earth only to drive people absolutely crazy. Keep sane . . . Allan Thornton

lo well i did format but that was due to the vue pro update it was working great then i updated it and thats when it stoped working ,and the only way to get vue to recognise poser is to doi a format and fresh install of all my apps regards seeklight

Cheers , I don't know ! Strange, I found now other web addresses with high level of max temperature (85-90C) . See for instance http://blymp.free.fr/download/AthlonXP.pdf Now I don't know what to believe, requires more research on the we to understand Yves
