Id like to say I am running Windows XP sp1 with modded system files.
Okay well I was running Bryce 5 and moddeld some nice motains with commets and stuff so I wanted render it. I first went to it's options and maxed out all of it's options so the pic can look it's best. (I have done this before and it worked.) So then I started rendering...the render stoped about half way on it's first loop. I didn't know why so I opend up Task manager to see if I was running something that interupted it. I noticed that bryce 5's priority was at "low" when it was at normal yesterday...this was odd. So I looked at taskmanagers priority and that was set to "high". So I simply set bryce 5's priority back to normal and re-renderd the image..then it stop on the same loop but this time it did more...I opend up task manager and it was back to LOW !!!! And tm was back to high! I thought I had some pesky adware or something messing with my system so I ran spy sweeper and it found 18 bots, so I deleted all of them. And ran bryce agian and the same thing happend. I do not think this has anything to do with my system files. My questions is how the hell can I make the app stay at the priority that I make it...all apps are scrwed. Must I go to windows update and lose my modded system files are do I need to reinstall windows becuase there is no hope.... Also Id like to say that all other apps sufer from this aswell and I can't back up and reinstall now cause I have no cds.....
