When rendering big images in my brand new 3.2 Intel, 1 Gb ram etc, (finally I bought something new), in video=SF9, the first lines come at once. Suddenly the image began to be plot pixel-by-pixel, as if the machine is dozing. You must "wake" it. Click "enter". The machine startle and it becomes alive. The next 50 lines come at once, then comes the dozing phase... and I have to do the mechanical "enter" some 5-10 times for each image. Is that normal under Windows XP? Is there another automatic command I do not know? Thanks Marcus

Windows by default will not give a high priority to a program that is not receiving input, because clearly you have to be constantly interacting with a program to be using it. You can fix this by right clicking the fractint executable and going to the Properties dialog. There, under the misc tab, set the idle sensitivity to low.
