Hanging on for Autodesk's Service Pack 1. Good job I'm well practised with Ctrl-S! c3d_combi_cr... 4997x819 561.9KB c3d_low_spec... 384x367 13.1KB

Does the Event log report any Heap allocation or user32.dll errors? You could try increasing the session memory allocation, by running REGEDIT and adding/modifying the following values: Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\SessionViewSize Type: REG_DWORD Value: 4000000 (this is a hex value) Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\SessionPoolSize Type: REG_DWORD Value: 3000000 (hex value) From memory the values aren't there on XP, so you'll have to create them. Just delete them to go back to default values. If you end up playing around with the values, SessionViewSize needs to be higher than SessionPoolSize. Before you play though, go to a command prompt and do the following: CD C:\ TYPE BOOT.INI And check you don't have "/3GB" or "/PAE" anywhere in the file - I doubt you will, unless someone has been playing, but best to double check all the same.
