Getting frustrated with bugs... 2005-06-03 - By Jordi Bares

i understand your fustration but think that many of us produce every day
with XSI 4.2. Sometimes these are bugs, sometimes they are not therefore
the answers you get.
My recommendation is get your support/reseller help you out with your
configuration and see what is the problem... does not seem normal to
have found that many problems.
An example, yesterday trying out one particular thing with another piece
of software crashed 8 times in less than half an hour until the one of
our guys help me with my setup. After that, no crashes, so it may be
your graphics card, your driver, some extra software in your system
(windows boxes are not that happy with many many applications installed
and then removed).
Also, please, would be great if you describe your problem properly so
people can help you.. saying "i have many bugs" will produce no
solutions, better try "i tried this, this is what i want, this is my
problem, this is the other things i tried, also in this other machines
with this particular configuration... etc. etc."
hope it helps
:)
