I had not done any stills since upgrading to v12.1 until yesterday and I do believe the quality of the rendered video may have gone down again.  Just me or have others experienced this?  Jerry 

The quality of rendered jpegs when down at version 10, went up a bit with v11, but has never achieved the quality of v9 in the opinion of several of us long time users.  Whether this is the cause of your problem I don't know but it may very well be contributing to the issue. Jerry 

You can rest assured that M$ is going to try and make as much money as possible and if they think ten different versions of the OS is the way to go, guess what! It has never been clear to me why there with so many version of XP - Home, Multimedia, Pro, Server...just nuts! Jerry

My guess for the examples is that it is not the patch/update causing the problem but rather the update process.  What I suspect is that something is supposed to run once on restart and then never again but the method to do that got screwed up and you end up in the reboot loop.  I had this very thing happen with diskkeeper when I did a ...

rfrink:  My client has asked me to put a ''copywite'', unlawful reproduction, type of statement at the beginning of their DVD. Of course, the material is really not copywrited...but my client wants a legally threatening message to discourage anyone from copying any of the content. Copyright law is both complex and ...

I give up!  I suppose I could try a reinstall but my HFX's are buried god only knows on what installation disks since the only original install I have is V8 and everything else is an update.
