Hi K-UDA,
Sorry I didn't ever see your post.... But after reading Frank's reply,
I have seen what you describe on my computer at work occationally when
running RS and also with Autodesk Inventor. From my experience though,
it has never been a problem with the programs running, but is a windows
resource problem when memory is running low. The fix for me has always
been to close down some other apps to free up more memory. Usually the
garbage is slow to clean up when low on memory because the CPU starts
swapping data with virtual memory (slow extra storage on the HD
drive). I run WinXP Pro w/ 1 GB ram, on P4 3GHz. Now days Windows is
so bloated and consumes memory like never before, we have to always be
aware of usage. Try to keep at least 300 to 400 MB free when running
apps for a better flow (at least in my case).
Good luck!
Regards,
Brandon

Hello list.
I upgraded the OS from Windows98 to WindowsXP Home Edition.
And I installed Ver 5.1SP2 in it.
But I acquired the strange phenomenon.
Is this a bug?
Hi K-UDA,
I didn't want to reply to this as I don't know the answer but as there
were no other replies I guess no one else does either. Personally I do
not have the option "Show Window contents while dragging" switched and
stick with the bounding box. But when I switched it on I didn't see the
problem your JPG demonstrated when dragging over Realsoft 3D. In OGL
mode it left a trail of grey boxes similar to your display but they
always filled in 1/2 a second or so behind the dragging. I didn't
observe this effect when dragging over Realsoft in GDI mode instead of
OpenGL. However I am running RS5.1 SP1 with Windows 2000 so there are a
few differences there too.
I don't think its a Realsoft3D problem perhaps for the time being you
could switched off the option "Show Window contents while dragging"
under display properties and the Effects tab ( well on Win2K anyway :).
Good luck with your Windows XP I think you will find it much better than
Win98 which Realsoft3D seams to hate, when I was running it it slowly
leaked away resources degrading the performance of Realsoft 3D as I worked.
Good luck with your problem,
Frank "The Rookie" Dodd
