When trying to render a surface of a virus with ~
350.000 coordinates I get the messages shown below,
then, after an awful lot of time an error message
appears saying something like "the program has made
an address exception....", the PC freezes and can only
be re-started with RESET. Win2k, 375 MB, HD free
space 11 GB:
Is there an upper limit for the number of coordinates to
be handled?
What can I do? Thanx for help, Dieter
