This sounds more like a Windows problem than E3D to me. My first reaction would be to run Norton or similar to check for Windows problems. All I did was press the damn button
I'm told there are firms who can recover data from hard drives - but have no names etc. There should be some in the Mac magazines (I don't buy any at the moment).
There's a facility called SCSI probe which should be able to mount the disc - does it use Lacie drivers or Apple drivers? Have you checked with either of these?
You've got a lot of reflections and highlights - that's what takes the time. The manual has some suggestions for reducing render time by altering the view.
Bryce is slow to render. I did one at 800x640, 300dpi that took 14 hours ... (It's the bluish one with pyramids at...

Cable modem seems to need resetting often. Works fine, but every now and again won't connect, TCP panel shows 169... and I have to turn it off and on again. Is this a general fault with cable modems? I shall have words with our provider.
Also 7300/166, but now a G3/500 with xlr8 card. Running OS 8.6 and connecting to Web via cable modem (part of tv/phone/net setup). TCP set to "ethernet" and configure using "DHCP server".
Any help?
Both. Screen size and 300dpi; PowerMac 7300/166. The latter is a bit quicker now, with a G3/500 processor now. And there were a lot of reflections... I wanted a print quality version as well as a desktop picture.
I had one picture that took 13 hours. Didn't burn into screen.
Should have turned the screen off... but never thought of it; just went to bed and left the program to run.
There may be something about your system that interferes with the demo version; you'd need to ask someone who knows more about Windows for advice. I use a PowerMac and have no problems running Bryce5 with Mac OS8.6 - and yandso's reply above suggests that there shouldn't be any problem running...
In the print dialogue choose "file" instead of "printer".
This produces a .ps file which you then process in Distiller.
Also check the Acrobat Help section of your software.
It should have started from the CD.
If you can get power on start from the CD by holding down the C key on start-up.
If it won't even power up (assuming it's not just a blown fuse in the plug) you'll need to get it to a repairman.
