P3D RE: P3D Computers stopping & NSA Convention

[wduggan3d@xxxxxxxx (WILLIAM A DUGGAN)]

Several P3D posting have mentioned a problem with computers 
freezing up or not responding, and having to be shut down and 
restarted.  I think I have found the solution for PCs with Win 95:

Click on START
Click on SETTINGS
Click on CONTROL PANEL
Click on SYSTEM
Click on PERFORMANCE (Upper right)
Click on GRAPHICS (at bottom center)
Move the HARDWARE ACCELERATION button from FULL
to the left one, two, or all three stops (to NONE) until the 
problem is solved.

In my case the problem continued until I moved it all the way 
to NONE.  Now my computer works like new, and I do not 
notice any change in the speed of handling graphics, 
including 3-D photos.

I do not know why this problem (of my computer freezing up 
and not responding  every few minutes, causing me to shut it 
down and lose all data not saved) suddenly developed, but for 
some reason my 4 mb accelerator card became unable to handle 
high acceleration, or something in my computer could no longer 
handle high acceleration.  A change in the setting solved the 
problem, which several "experts" had proposed I solve by 
saving all data, reformatting my two hard drives, and 
reinstalling all software.

Please contact me ASAP if you want to present a 3-D SHOW, 
conduct a WORKSHOP, donate door prizes, or rent a table at 
the TRADE FAIR at NSA'98 Richmond Convention, August 6-10.
