I had Incendia on my laptop. When to create a PDF of the online help. When Adobe Acrobat reader tried to open the PDF, it told me of a new update. I installed it. Incendia hasn't worked since. I re-formated my hard drive, reloaded windows and Incendia. It loaded right up. I then installed Firefox, Adobe Flash, and Adobe Acrobat. Incendia has refused to work since. I had Incendia on an old P1 desktop running XP and was using it to render some parameters. Everything worked fine until about about an hour ago. Incendia wouldn't load. I rebooted. What greeted me when the system came back up? A message box from Adobe to install the freshly downloaded update to Adobe Acrobat.
Anyone else seeing a trend here? If you want to keep Incendia working, I'd delete Adobe Acrobat Reader and find an alternative. Maybe something like Foxit (www.download.com/Foxit-PDF-Rea…). Now I am off to re-load windows and see if it fixes anything.

UPDATE: On the XP machine, I un-installed Acrobat Reader, re-installed Incendia, and it works again! Now if I can nly get it working on the faster machine....
2nd Update: I removed Acrobat from my laptop and Incendia still would not run. I re-installed it. Still no go. I "repaired" Vista with my install CD. Nothing. I then re-formatted my drive (2nd time this weekend) and re-installed all my software - Incendia last of all and with something other than Acrobat. It worked...kinda. No flickering, but lots of screen updates. I was able to get out the two pieces I just posted before I shut the program down to do something else. Guess what won't re-start.
I've added an additional update on this problem here (djeaton3162.deviantart.com/jou…). I'd like to get your input here (tinyurl.com/59wm4k).

DOH!
Just had one of those OH CRAP! moments. I intended to delete all the files in my folder with "par" as part of the name. Worked great...except it also deleted my PARAMETER folder with all my M3D thumbnails and parameters! Luckily, everything through yesterday was backed up, and I've posted the 15 or 18 missing parameters on Google Plus. So I can get them back, but it sure would be nice to have batch M3P -> TXT and batch TXT -> M3P capability. So happy that I've been sharing all my parameters on G+ though. Not only does it allow others to play with them, but really saves my bacon when I do something uber dumb! LOL
Like a bad rash than won't go away, I'm BAAAACK!
It's been a crazy year and I haven't been around for a while. Moved into a new place and got it all set up, got both of my kids through high school, and stayed real busy as the head moderator over on Theologica (theologica.ning.com). Haven't done fractals in a long, long time. Then, last Sunday, an online friend posted something from Mandelbulb 3D. Blew me away and I had to check it out. And in the last five nights, I've been up past 5am on four of them - partly because of insomnia and partly because I was so lost in M3D that I couldn't find my way back home. :) I've been busy though. I only post a small bit of my work here on DA. For
My ordeal may be coming to an end
If you have followed my journal for the last three years, you know about my fight with an insurance company that used my computer's ability to render fractals as some justification that I was not disabled. They have now agreed, however, to arbitration in the case. It is scheduled for next Tuesday. It is going to be an all day ordeal and I will be spending it between my wheelchair and a reclining camp chair that I am going to have to bring myself.
My ordeal with my insurance company may go away next week....but so may all information I have posted about what they have put me through. If you want to see/archive it before it is possibly gone
An Easy Explanation of Fractals
Just posted a short web page explaining fractals for all those that have asked me the question over the years. You can read it at this (http://bit.ly/FractalTutorial). I tried to use non-technical language as if I were going to be teaching this to home-school kids or something. If you haven't seen the videos I link to there though, you should really check them out.

Well, I wish I had the program (love debugging) and have enough comps not to worry about reinstall issues.
