I have a question.... I haven't tried it to see but my PC is now running XP pro (service pack2)... will I be able to run Fractint on it?
Wyszkowski's Second Law: Anything can be made to work if you fiddle with it long enough. On that note, try right-clicking on the icon that you start FRACTINT with. I don't know about the pro version, but in the version I was playing with, I had to disable EMS and XMS (forcing FRACTINT to use disk at a small performance penalty on large imajez), unless I wanted FRACTINT to stall completely. Somehow, it wouldn't get a time slice, because Windows thot that it was waiting for the keyboard (and touching the keyboard is usually the last thing on my mind during large renderings), but only when EMS and XMS were enabled.
