Hey Andy - you will most likely think I'm crazy (and I can introduce you to a lot of people who would agree :wink: ), but launching AC3D locks up my Win 2K computer and forces a re-boot until the third try. On the first two tries the DOS window comes up totally blank and about two seconds later it's locked up. It wouldn't be such a big deal except sometimes I try to launch AC3D without saving my other work :oops: . Once I get to the third try it runs fine the rest of the day, any Ideas?????

Still a great program

Hi Art,

Oh dear - I'm sure you are not crazy.

Which version of AC3D are you using?

Well foxa, I'm afraid you are correct. You are totally insane and have truly gone off the deep end, hehe, just kidding.
If you haven't had this problem before, then what have you done recently as far as adding new programs, driver updates, etc.?
In my case, AC3D ran perfectly until I updated my Nvidia graphics card driver.

I'm running 4.0.8 and unfortunately ISD re-formatted my hard drive and re-loaded all my "company" software and I had to re-load the rest. I don't know all the boot settings they run. I am also having a problem with my LPT1 driver getting blown out by something and I have to re-install it 2 or 3 times a day. I really don't think it's AC3D but wanted to check. Woody - I look at your site all the time, I consider it to be the "artistic counterpart to the "technical" forums great job

Thanks, but it's just a quicky job. I'm going to go back and snaz it up when I have time. Here's an example of some of my better work. It's a site that I designed for a friend who is also half owner of Indy Screen Print which is a company I do work for. He hasn't updated it yet because he doesn't know much about html or web site design. He also messed around and screwed up one of the links. Guess I'll have to go back and fix it again lol. I used AC3D to make that spinning logo.
