I have some good news.

I moved my latest large project to my wife's computer just to verify
if the problems I have reported would occur on a Vista 32bit machine,
and I found that SVN3975 had no issues in opening the quick preview
screen on project open.  It was a fresh install, so I checked the
settings and found that the image cache size was set to 75MB, so I
decided to check what it was set to on my machine.  I found that I had
it set to 2000MB which is the max allowed.  When I reduced it to
200MB, all the errors I was seeing no longer occur.

I suspect some of the slow openGL improvements to speed it up ended up
using the image cache more effectively which is why I don't see the
issue in SVN3884 or earlier.  I would say the only bug is that hugin
allows one to set the image cache too large.  Other than that, I would
say RC4 is ready to go!

Is there any where to download a 64bit Vista build?  I seem to be
pushing too many limits with the 32bit version!

Regards,
Rick
