Hello, one and all.  To those of use who are familiar with Blender:  It's doing something funny to me.  The background, as I move my mouse, is turning more and more LIGHT purple.  If I step back to a lower version of drivers (pre - XP) it works ok.  But, I'd rather keep the drivers I have now.  It's Blender Creator 2.23, Detonator 23.11 drivers, and a Herc. 3D Prophet II GTS with a GeForce 2 chip.. I know, I'm probably going to upgrade soon.  Any ideas with how to solve my Blender problem?  And, before A N Y B O D Y  says it: Not using Blender is  not  an option.  And I don't want to hear about how bad Blender sucks and how Kazan doesn't think it should be used with PCS or whatever.   I've not had a problem with it yet.  (in that area, anyway)  Thank you for your help!

USE BLENDER!!!! It is very good for modelling if you have imagination, and you can make [V] quality models with it easier than with TS or 3dsmax

Dunno about your problem though...

I don't know what your problem would be, but it could be your openGL32 drivers. 'cuz Blender uses OpenGL instead of Other video exelorators (please dont mind my spelling)

You know, I had the exact same thing happen to me when I tried the program out a few days ago. Since 3DS Max messes up when I have forced antialiasing enabled (which I usually do), I tried turning it off to see if Blender also had the same problem, and it worked fine then.

Cool, thanks CP5670, that got it.

3d max 3.0+ is at easy as it gets; don’t know about 4.0 because I don’t have it. But since I have the 3.0/3.1 tutorials on my original Disks cause I own the thing, I can tell you that if you have the tutorials then it is easy since they explain everything about almost everything- hint select a mesh right-click ("convert to editable mesh"), right click and look on all the wonderful fast accessible functions. ”Detach/attach, extrude, bevel, create Vertex/polygon/face, etc. ”. So if one can afford it, I can only recommend MAX.
