Hey Al, Hoops is an independent company that supplies 3D rendering components to design software companies. http://developer.hoops3d.com/video/hoops3daf_demo.html Thanks, Rick! NOW some of the stuff makes some sense. I think that I REALLY showed that my knowledge of some of this stuff needs some po...

I think the performance testing for the video cards was based on HOOPS performance, and not the LightWorks performance. All the 3D rendering in eCabinets is done via HOOPS api. The 2D Presentation rendering is done via LightWorks api. Rick, I think you know your stuff, based on your comments here. ...

Terrific, Kerry!

Other duties have kept me away, and I almost missed this one. Thanks for sharing - it gives many of us something to not only think about, but to shoot for.

Richard, Welcome to the forum! You might want to look at this thread , and see if it gets you going in some easy way. Just stick with it, come back and ask questions, and you will get help quickly. In the same thread mentioned above you will also find Dan Epps' nice tutorial that you can download. T...

Thanks, Dan.

I was wondering, as some members have reported problems when using some of the (older) USB-1 jump drives, as I recall.

You should use the Backup My Files functionality located in the File menu. This will hold all of your settings as well as your files so that you can restore them at a later time if needed. Thanks, Larry! I tried this for the first time earlier this week - it was fast, convenient, and a great tool t...

...The most important thing however is that in graphics performance it does not perform any better than other cards I have used, it is in fact worse than cards not recommended by the eCabs team. It is some 80% slower in rendering a presentation than my nVidia NX7900gt with 256M ram. So bottom line ...

......I am going to watch some sport now (Taking the weekend off)... And we are not even talking about the Ashes or a major Test... :joker: It probably IS a good thing, or the heat might start affecting other parts of the body :lol: :lol: :lol: I don't know much about the game, so I am sure Dan is ...

Bev,

Nick makes an excellent point.

Have you been working in the eCabinet Systems programs all day? Sometimes, rebooting might help with this type of problem, especially if it IS related to memory issues.

I am grasping for straws, though, as I have never seen this problem on my system.


Al

...Yes you are right, LOTS of things happening in September here. Its even my B'day!(nudge nudge wink wink) :wink: AND OH YES I DO FOLLOW CRICKET! ... Pretty cool way of letting us know WHEN your b'day is, Paul! I bet the entire country goes crazy with this inaugural and huge cricket happening in S...

Welcome to the forum, Bev!

It sounds like you might have a graphics card issue. Please provide some more information, such as:

1. Graphics card, and dedicated graphics memory

2. Total system memory

3. Resolution of the *.jpg images you are using

I would not know where else to start.


Al

Paul,

I see there will be LOTS of excitement in September in South Africa,at the inaugural ICC World Twenty20, which takes place in South Africa from September 11-24.

Do you follow cricket?


Al

P.S.: Just one more question on this post-jacking...

Jason (or anyone else) What time of year is the fall? TIA The International character of the board results in fun things happening at times, Paul :lol: . Fall ====>>> Autumn (in the Northern Hemisphere...) In the United States, this is the time period "when the leaves fall", or around Sep...

No need to hold the SHIFT key, folks.

Are you using MACs, by any chance???
























GOTCHA, right?



Al



P.S.: I wonder if there is SOME setting in the eCabinets.ini file that accounts for these differences?
