Well it seems to be working ok now. I've expanded the virtual memory (not certain if that mattered or not) and I'm not running anything in the background. But I can move models around reliably. Thanks to everyone for your advice, the AM forums are truly the best bunch of people.

Vista is a beast.... I disabled Aero already. I'm using V 13.0. I've increased the virtual memory on the system, but I haven't had a chance to see if that helps or not. The search continues.

Well I spoke to soon. It took a couple of minutes but the problem remains. I've updated my driver, gone back to OpenGL and disable the hair. Oh, and Robcat I'm running Vista (unfortunatly). Any suggests?

Thanks Robcat, and everyone. Switched to DirectX and I can't seem to create the problem again. Looks like it's working. Always have admired this forum for it's quick and helpful replies, thanks again.

Not certain how to tell if I'm using OpenGL or DirectX. Can check the hair but I'm not using any models with hair. This is happening with any model I've tried, Rabbit, KeeKat, the Knight. Patches I'm not certain. One object so far. My processor is an AMD 64 X2 4600+ with 2.0GB RAM This has never been a problem with anyother 3d software I use, Maya 8.5, Poser, Cinema 4D or Vue 6. Thanks for the quick reply itsjustme.

Hello AM'ers.... been away for awhile, now I'm back. I've been having a problem for some time and haven't seen a forum that addresses this, there are so many to look through. When I'm posing a model periodically the figure will appear to stop moving (except a small area) and I have to click off the figure to regain control of the mouse, meanwhile the figure will have moved. It's difficult to control the posing when you can't see where you're moving something to. I've tried posing in wireframe, shaded, both and the problem still happens. It comes and goes as I'm moving bones about. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Kevin

Luuk, what I've seen looks great! Can't wait to see where you take this and I look forward to purchasing a copy.

Thought I'd add my experience to the topic. I've had many problems with Vista, but AM is running well on the system. One problem though is using Quicktime, couldn't render or export renders. There is a fix now on Quicktimes service site, download it and that problems solved. And keep checking with your graphics card provider, just downloaded an updated driver that helped a couple of issues.

Hello! I am beginning again with AM and thought I would introduce myself to the forum. I purchased AM about a year ago and got through about half the TAO manual, then I got side-tracked. I've been learning about the world of CG and have practiced with several 3D packages, Maya, Cinema 4D, Carrrea and Poser for example. I'm coming back to AM because I believe this platform will give me all the things I want to do without the steep learning curve or expense of some of the other programs. Looking at some of the work that's been done with AM I am impressed with it's abilities and the end results. I am enrolled in an online school, AnimationMentor.com and I am familiar with the Maya animation features. I find AM's rigs to work almost as good as the much more expensive Maya system. I'm looking forward to learning AM and getting to know my fellow AM fans on the forum.
