I have just opened My new Vue 4 the 4 main windows are in grey and not in white. When I load in an atmosphere the 4 windows turn briefly white and then turn back to gray.When I load in a scene from the extras disk the scene loads in banded with the scene alternating with bands of gray in the 4 main windows but renders ok. Thanks (can you tell I am a beginner?)

You may have a problem with Open GL. Go to your settings and uncheck the GL option. I had some problems like that.

Hi Mike, Try updating your graphics card drivers, and if that does not help, turn off OpenGL in the options menu. If you using a GeForce 3 based card, there is a known bug when using it with Vue 4. I also know that ATI cards using the 128 chipset, are quite weak as far as OpenGL is concerned. Hope that helps. Cheers

Thanks everybody. I turned off OpenGL and that seems to do the trick. I have GeForce 2 mx (32 megs) with the latest drivers (official) with 4.1 of vue installed. (Now on to page 2)

Sorry to hear that your first experience with Vue 4 was such a drag. :( I never had a problem with the Open GL until I "upgraded" my VooDoo 3 card driver. Then I got exactly what you got with Open GL. I reverted to the older driver, and all was well again. Glad to hear you got it taken care of though, and welcome to Vue :) -Mike
