The *.dl_ extension is typical windows compression ....used to be, in the days before *.CAB files, ALL windows files were on the install disks as *.XX_ where "XX" was the first 2 letters of the file extension. In fact, Win2000 still has the de-compression app in the WinNT/system32 dir..it's called "...

Slow text is due to blender drawing in the front buffer (which ATI cards are not particularly speedy at). Firstly...I'm not a progammer, so my understanding of such stuff is tenuous at best, but I did do some googling to try and determine what the problem may be. I think it boils down to the fact t...

no prob...

Cuervo, preferably.

Go the the ATI site driver downloads section and select the appropriate OS/graphic card. This will (most likely) link you to the d/l for the current Catalyst 4.4 drivers. At the bottom of that page is a link to "Previous driver versions". D/L the Catalyst 3.7 driver package. Run the EXE and it will ...

I had the GUI slowdown problems with the 3.9 drivers as well. ton said in another thread ( http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3112 ) that ATI had sent th...

Hey, that's GREAT news!

I would really like to use Blender for the Torque-based game I'm working on.

UPDATE:

New ATI Catalyst v4.3 drivers still exhibit the slowdown problem w/ Blender.

This is opengl compliant, but apparantly not well supported anymore... I've been poking around on various OGL/GLUT programming sites and the general concensus there is that the OGL 2D pipe has never been optimal for consumer class video cards and is, in general, only well implemented (read: fast) o...

would that be in linux? My SuSE 8.2 system did that until I installed the 2.4.20 kernel (from .19) I just re-checked the thread that I got that info from and, yes, he was compiling Blender for Linux. So, that's a linux specific thing I guess (I'm not a programmer), ...but the repeating GHOST window...

Most, if not all, of the registry settings for the ATI drivers are accessible by using the "Rage3DTweak" app available here: http://www.rage3d.com/index.php?node=r3dtweak However, nothing I can do STOPS the problem, only delays the inevitable. Here's some relavant info from the rage3D forums: ~~~~~~...
