Me mate Dan has been using xsi 6.01 and he seems pretty happy using it. Although he has had two wierd things that we can't explain. The q tool has stopped working for the region tool. ( even after restarts) And in the bottom left view port (only when in front view) you can't move any objects. Other than that and the frustration of render pipeline scripts not working he seem pretty happy. Not too many crashes.

Hi Sandy, we have a lot of crash here, specially while using the animation editor and the rendertree/region
That's too bad that a so promising version is a such pain to use,I hope this will be fixed soon.....

Ah OK will try this thanks Adam - Eriya - thanks for the tips also - I
doubt motherboard problems here, as it happens with all our machines
here - BTW also 5.11 is much much happier, so is 6.01 more susceptible
to driver problems and such????

Thanks

Sandy
