Aaahhh...the famous undo-error! Ive felt an urge to kill my pc several times because of that... While were at it, have any of you experienced the similar copy/paste error? It has the same amusing result...

No but I've had undo totally skew and mess my object so that it's all distorted and only a reload from the last save will fix it.

Don't trust the computer to save for me, maybe if it asks before saving, that might be good.

What I hate is when I go into my saved obp objects and delete one and bryce takes 15 or 20 others with it and when I reopen there are a bunch of white squares where my obps used to be.

How about working most of the day on something a bit large and complicated.... no glitches at all and you save it... no apparent problems, but then you come back the next day to do more... and Bryce refuses, no matter what enticements as far as computer resources you free up, to ever open the file again.... and you can see it in the window's manager as a file that's huge and dormant.

I've never had this problem. I can work for hours and undo and redo and yada yada and all I can say is that B5 with the patch is rock solid.

Just bought a ATI Radeon 8500 and man has it been buggy. Reboots, blank screens, best in the middle of a render. Hehehe oh I am on the edge to my friend!

does anyone freeze up completely when importing a picture list - this is after "white screen" for 5 minutes
mboncher posted Sat, 23 November 2002 at 1:03 AM
I have seen a tendancy to freeze when opening, saving or shutting down after a big save or render.

Sounds like the "oooops, Bryce has to close now, sucks to be you" error, I get periodically...join the club...=>

Or when the imported stuff is big. Roch, how big are your pictures? And has it frozen hard, or it's just not responding at the moment? Can you see the processes in Task Manager?

When I freeze at times, I won't even get a change in the Task Manager even... if I can even call it up. Zhann, it's called STBY pronounced "stabby". for short. :c)
Zhann posted Sat, 23 November 2002 at 2:27 AM
My error message actually says "ooops, Bryce has to close now, sorry", is that a distorted program or what! I added the STBY androids voice from Bicentennial Man to error messages...gives the computer personally, although at times like that I'd like to CTLSOOI...:)

If the file seems lost but still there, try a system restore.

Whew! If even one of these things happened to me I would take an axe to my machine in anger and frustration. As a Mac user I do a number of things on a regular basis. Rebuild the desktop once a week. Run Conflict Catcher whenever something new is put into the system. Run Norton disk Doctor at least once a month and optimise the HD. Run Aladdin Spring Clean about every six months to get rid of the huge amounts of junk that accumulates all over the HD. I learnt a valuable life lesson many years ago. My technical Drawing Tutor at school always started his lessons with this mantra, " Never start a new job with a dirty instrument!", how right he was. Now I have opened my big gob the system will freeze up for the rest of the day I expect!. Wishing you all a glitch free heaven on earth.

I have made my own little program that runs in the background of my computer that autosaves my work every 5 mins on certain programs i put in it!

Vile do you have all the latest drivers for the 8500 vid card?
Rochr posted Sat, 23 November 2002 at 2:07 PM

How about a Matrox Parhelia, Rochr? I've heard only good things about it. And Matrox is supposedly better for non-gaming purposes. And it can drive three monitors.

A friend of mine did suggest the Matrox as well. He doesnt work with 3D apps though, so i dont know...

My PC came with a Radeon 8500 fitted (+XP Home, 512 ram, Athlon XP2000)and Bryce is as good as gold. Poser is something else. Aaaaaargh.

Bryce is contrary, for no reason i could tell, my 2nd last pic 3 times went weird... applied a light gel that i KNow i didnt do. Deleted 2 backups back but even in those that same light gel was there... even though those files were ok when saved. haha last pic folder before i prune it (and by no mean the largest) is 3 gigs of 18 different versions of the same pic.
Roch222 posted Sat, 23 November 2002 at 9:36 PM
Erlick MY pic files are about 90MB each and yes it freezes then Blue screen any suggestions are my pic files too large or is that not the prob any insight
Erlik posted Sun, 24 November 2002 at 2:04 AM
theoretically, that size shouldn't be a problem. But if there are many of them... Hm, you should take a look at the error message that appears on BSOD. "Such and such program/module caused an error in this-and-that. OE/OD..." And then go to windows-help.net to check what might be a problem. Or just post the code here, and I'll take a look.

I did have some serious erroring once. But after swapping out a stick a ram and replacing it back with 2 256'ers, the lockups stopped. Small posibility but if you got more then one stick in there, remove or switch it with another pc and play around for a bit to see if it crashes again.
Incarnadine posted Mon, 25 November 2002 at 11:47 AM
Vile- ATI has some issues with W98SE in all flavours so far of its drivers. I installed a 9000 on a clean Windows install on a virgin HD and it fought with the Taskmon process. I also got full lock BSOD whenever I tried to access the driver via control panel/system... Took it back and got a MSI G4Ti4200 128 DDR, went in smooth as silk. One question regarding your setup - how much ram do you have? There is a W98SE bug with big AGP cards and sytems with greater than 512 Mb RAM.
Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!
