Re: [XSI 5.0.1 CRASH] Baking Illumination with Final Gathering active.

["Andrea Padovan" <xsi(at)fastwebnet.it>]

I Found the problem about crash!

Thanks very very very a lot to James DeColling that sent me your setting using Asian Languages.

Hey Man TTHHAANNKKK YYYYOOOUUUU!

 

Ok, this is a workaround to my problem.

If you want to use XSI without problems and to able also able to write text in Japanse with a Japanse Keyboard,

make sure that in "Text Services and Input Languages" property inside "Default input language" group,

 

BE SET TO "English (United States) - Japanese" ( or others, the important think is that have to be English ).

NEVER "Japanese - Microsoft IME standard 2002 ver. 8.1"

NEVER "Japanese - Microsoft Natural Input 2002 ver. 8.1"

 

So now I would like to know...

What is it ?? XSI Bug or XP Bug ??

 

God, now I can have a party with lots of Nihon gilrs and a river of beer! :D

Thanks for tips about 4GB ram, I'll try with some test...
