So I sat down for my first evening with vue infinite last night and I am having mixed feelings about the app. Basicly I get a repeated crash trying to populate anything in my scene, even a scene with one object.

On this same machine I am able to run various other 3d apps with no crashes; Lightwave, Max, Maya, terragen etc.

My system is a P4 3.4 with a meg on chip, a gig of ram, geforce 7800, I have 2 drives in the machine, both sata, a 120 and a 160 gig.

Anyone have an ideas?

I also have Norton Systemworks running, that isnt getting turned off. I do not have the system monitor thing running though, just antivirus and the firewall.

Also, vue works fine loading up demo scenes, rendering any number of the ones that came packaged with vue.

If I can think of anything else I will post it here when I get home later.

Are you using Open GL? I use wireframe and it sails along very smoothly...

If you use Windows, you might check your Virtual Memory, as it may be too low.

...surely included getting the latest software version? I'm on 5.09-2. The program has been stable for me so far, for what that is worth.

Also, when populating, start with a scale of 1.0 or somesuch, a very small scale will slow down the populating process and I _guess_ might even contribute to instability?

I'm just starting out myself so sorry I can't help more.

Good luck.

Ok, problem solved. I was trying to do the most basic of basic functions with the standard settings for basic population . Apparently I had not restarted my machine since the initial install. So needless to say, problem solved I think. I did turn some stuff off on my machine (norton ghost), but after having realized that I did not reboot after install, I think that is the case. I will continue on this thread if I continue to have issues.
