psychedelic landscapes, tell me about it. (see earlier thread.) .http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=002796 I still haven't been able to sort it out and it sounds like exactly the same thing. Except I'm running a G3 Powerbook on OS 8.6. So I really don't think it's a OS9/OSX problem. I don't know what it is. hilfe....... hilfe uns! Die maschine sind kaput!

hi schrullenhaft, thanks for that in depth advice. sorry about delay in posting but had a heavy weekend. have tried everything you suggested but still no luck. CMBB is also crashing everytime (unmapped memory exception(?)), have also tried re installing CMBB, think i will have to use my flatmates iMac for now. he'll be pleased(?). if you have anymore ideas , that would be great, but i feel defeat looming. shame 'cos I won't be able to buy full version. will keep trying though. thanks again

Thanks for your replies guys, this is my first time posting on any forum and you've all been very helpful, nice one. I have tried Schrullenhafts various suggestions, but no luck. My monitor is 800 x 600. I've tried fiddling with my VRAM and virtual memory but my computer just screams and dies. I think it might be showing it's age. Karch, I've done a search for ATI Rave and couldn't find it. So presumably I don't have it. If you have any suggestions they will be gratefully received. I saw the screenshots you mentioned and they are very similar to my problem. I am going to go and have a closer look at that thread. Thanks again to all three of you.

Hi, I've got a G3 Powerbook running Mac OS 8.6, 160mb, 250Hz and a 5Gb hard drive. Always been able to run CMBO no problem. CMBB runs but the graphics are well weird, kind of kaleidascopic. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I have a screen shot but couldn't work out how to post it. (duh) Any thoughts would be great. cheers
