The search dingus on Renderosity does nothing when I click it so if this is a repetition, please bear with it or go to the next message. I downloaded the P6 demo. I have opened it about 6 times, managed to do one straight render of (James? - whatever that is that appears on the screen when it opened). That looked ok. Anytime I try to turn a parameter dial, touch the figure on screen or do anything like that several things happen... + the figure grows all sort of extended blurred artifacts + my cursor disappears (unless I run it over the windows bar at bottom - then it's there) + I have to cntrl-alt-delete to shut it down... no cursor, alt F4 does nothing and tab keys do nothing. My system and card run Poser 5, Photoshop 7, I do some major size illustrations with Photoshop and Painter, I run Carrara, Bryce, Rhino and a bunch of other major biggies from Macromedia and a lot of mainstream packages with no problem. Granted, my card is a bit old, but this is rediculous (if it is even the card... I don't think so). Card = ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500 128 meg DDR SGRAM/SDRAM PCI bus 1 Driver version 5.13.1.6037 2/8/2002 Release version 7.67-020208x-2916c-ATI 1 gig ram Windows 2000 pro (R)4 CPU - 2.40 Ghz processor 9000 Mb paging file The ATI site does not show any more recent drivers for this, and I haven't seen one elsewhere. I'm not inclined to toss my system/card just to use Poser 6. Any thoughts on this one? Thanks much! Nate
