I had already tried lower terrain settings thinking a memory issue was causing this. The quality of the video degenerated from what it was recorded but in that command box that runs I noticed it writing that a file was missing, I'' ll run it later and write down exactly what it says since it re occurs each run. I must get a couple hard drives and after I do that I can move over to another machine and try it in windows 7, it would probably be more helpful to do that anyway since 2014 is the end of XP as we know it. No more security upgrades after 2014 so it will slowly disappear, too bad I like XP much better than these newer systems. I tried loading on an XP pro machine but my resources are too low on that machine, poor everything and I only use it for downloading and storage. In the coming months I'll be trying it on windows 7. I should have a pretty good feel for it after doing all the reading and watching the videos. Unfortunately I had a graphics card failure in this machine and it was necessary to move my better card to here, so it left my windows 7 machine with an onboard card, the hard drive is full of more storage
so I would need the two devices to move to windows 7, soon
