i just purchased a pent4,with 1,5 gigs ram an 128 meg video card operating at 3.0 mghz.our their any isues of xp an vue i need to know before installing.please respond if you know of any thanks in advance

See in our FAQ video cards that are working for sure with Vue's OpenGL. Some other doesnt. But you always can disable OpenGL, makes Vue faster when disabled.

I use XP with 1 gig of ram, 1.4ghz, and a shared onboard video card varying from 8-64mb ram. I haven't had any problems with Vue even using OpenGL with the current drivers. Experiment with the hardware acceleration setting sliders in the Options menu to see what it feels comfortable with. The thing with Vue is don't work too fast or it will crash on you, which is mainly a videocard issue. So first play with the hardware acceleration settings. JoeBlack

thanks to all for the infro

I only have one issue. Sometimes when I use the Material Editor, the program just disappears. No sorry, this program has encountered a problem. Do you want to tell Microsoft. No nothing. Just gone. And I do have all the latest patches. I'm using Vue4 Professional. But I also have Vue 4. As I remember, Vue 4 did this as well. My pc is a HP with windows media edition. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else has an HP and if it displays this behavior or not. Thanks.

I also have that problem with XP and the material editor shutting down Vue 4 Pro without warning as well. Occasionally I actually do get a "microsoft has encountered..." error but for the most part it just boots me out of the program. It didn't seem to happen to me until I got a new machine (an HP) that had hyperthreading (multiple processors) enabled on it. Not sure what to do about it except to save often before doing materials. If anyone has a better solution to this irritating problem I'm sure it would be helpful to those of us having this problem. Thanks.

My computer also has hyperthreading. But I think the one I had before this one didn't have it. I've actually gone through 2 pcs since April. The first one only lasted a couple months and then it would just freeze up as soon as it booted up. Ctl-Alt-Del didn't even work. But if you rebooted by holding the power button sometimes 2, 3, 4, even 10 times, it would finally work okay until the next day when you turned it on again. I took it back and they played around with it for 2 weeks and finally gave me a new machine.
