I am posting a new message as the old one is now buried deep. Finally managed a screen capture of the render optinons box. VUE4 will not commence rendering when I hit ok. I have a penium 4 512 sdram..80 gig HD Dell dimension. All updates for VUE are in. When I click on ok...nothing happens. It use to show a box in the lower left corner showing rate of completion. No box now...just sits there.Hard drive is not crunching at all.
