Re: 3.02 Questions

1)Sorry about not being specific about the error msg. But it was "PI encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." And then gives me the option to "Send Error Report" to Microsoft. When I select "Don't Send" it immediately closes PI 3.02.

2)PI 3.02 has only crashed when I tried to save to an .avi file type - not everytime. I even tried the 'WMV' format and it saved it just fine and I got another window pop up for more options. If I just exit after 'playing' with it, PI will behave correctly. However, it will NOT show up in the 'recent programs' section at all/ever! The option to "run with software rendering" shows up instead of the regular 3.02 program . I have openGL ability and it is recognized and will display correctly if I run the program by launching 3.02 from START/All Programs/etc. As you mentioned, I ran the "reset default settings" option and you are correct as it DID show up in the 'recent' section as did PI render, PI Batch, particle view. I realize that this is no big deal, I just thought you should know about it in case I am not the only person to experience this (evidently I am). I can still launch this but with a few more mouse clicks.
