hello, I'm only running MI 6.0 so I can't say if this has improved or not in v7
At some point you will experience shifting lines [were horizontal and now show at 45deg] and selecting will no longer work. I have found that there is a relationship with what your hardware and OS are. I have a P3-1000, 256meg, 20gig ATA66, TNT2 M64 32meg video, on Win2k-sp3 at the office and a P4-1500, 512meg, 13gig ATA66 and 19gig ATA100, TNT2 MX400 64meg video, on Win2k-sp3 here Testing here I got down to 0.25m and lost the selection and the lines disappeared when I zoomed closer that 0.00023m. On the memory, unless you are doing some "really" monsterous stuff 256 should be fine but memory is cheap so go for 512 or the max. I've got IE6, LookOutEx 6, Delphi 6, MI6, Mercury32 [mail server], and Exploder running and still have 105k of 512k free physical memory and do about the same abuse at the office except that the mail server is different box. Both machines are about the same as far as services, mail scanner, virus scanner, ad blocker, etc in the background. My $0.0175us [adjusted for inflation] is: 1 - get a decent video -- M64 about $39us and MX400 about $79us [with a fan on the chip] 2 - get all the memory you can 3 - if you by the hardware at www.newegg.com [read "upgrade" system] you can get Win2k for $149us [OEM version] I remember back in 94 with v3.0, trying to zoom in to "snap" the end points until about 6 months later, I read the manual and found that snap existed with the S key...........yep RTFM paid off Trey Pattillo [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.wap3.com -97.665333W 27.799121N ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bull, Leo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 18 September, 2002 19:02 Subject: MI-L Line distortion > > I am running Windows 98 and MI 7.0.
