MAXMAC Well, after all the earth textures load it starts to render the screen saver.... only.... The texures need much further processing by the system. I have no control over how long the system takes to process the textures once they are loaded. If you give the system 10-20 seconds then it'll start rendering. Clearly you have not given it enough time. You know, some high quality renderings AREN'T instantaneous. Sometimes it takes a while for you system to do work (shocking, eh?). When on an older system (pre-2005) then it could take longer. So i ask... would you like smaller and lower quality textures to feed your need for everything being instant? or would you rather have higher quality with a longer load?
You are part of the instant culture.... Everything my way, RIGHT NOW. (or else you get a low rating [because I have no patience]). You are such a typical of Americans.
