I had a similar situation a few years ago with a nasty malware virus (that was undetectable by any AVS!). Everytime I thought I had removed it, it kept reinstalling itself. My last resort was going to be a complete re-install, but before that I finally found an article on the internet that exlained how to go in through DOS and delete line by line those files needed to be rid of it once and for all. If you know the name of the virus (or viruses), try doing an internet search on it.

Good to see. Were these done with latest beta nxt version, as you can now add bump and the new materials editor has been hooked up. You could already the use the basic presets for plastic glass, metal etc? Keep them coming.

Thats quite a list! I'm gonna have to disagree with you on your first point though. SU would be way too cluttered if 1/3rd of the plugins available where installed, there would just be too many to sift through, especially for a new user who doesnt know what any of them are meant to do. including some of them would be wicked though, like joint push/pul and soapskin. not forgettign adamb's lighting plugin, that could also fill your 'lighting' point on the wishlist

The ideal grid: it can be scaled by a hotkey which doubles in size it is infinite (no need to set distance points) it isn't an actual object in the Outliner it has line weighting (ie. every 4th or 8th line is darker/heavier) it adjusts its visual screen draw to prevent moiré patterns if in an orthogonal view, it covers the background (ie. front, top, right) it is tied into the snap distance and unit of measurement Thoughts?

I updated Windows then the driver was updated sucessfully. It was fixed.
