Upon first run, there will be a dialog asking for
your prefered video acceleration. This dialog takes a few seconds to appear
and may be hiding behind other dialogs.

 

Try it again and let us know if that's
it.

Nope.  It will say starting Viz Render, 
Then the screen will flash the program then nothing.

Would that prevent it from loading? 
Maybe.

Do you have anything else at all open? As Dennis points out, you are at half the min, rec, ram. If and when you do get it open, when you go to render: if not a freeze, maybe an overnight wait. Leaving aside Vizrender, I am NOT happy with my 512 ram for ADT 2004, although it seemed fine for 3.3. Bob

No programs open.  In task manager nothing
appears in the Applications and vizr.exe will show up and then disapper in
Processes.  Before if flashes off there is still 120mb of physical memory
left.

Don't beat a dead horse (if you want my opinion). The Vizrender is going to be extremely annoying or useless on that machine as it sits, which is presumably a P3 (you didn't say) and may not have the proper video card (you didn't say). 256 more ram is almost cheaper than the time you have spend on this.

I will get the ram.  I just want to poke
around.  I know Matt Dillon is using the same machine with 512 ram and is
doing OK. 

 

Is it now a bloody stump 🙂

VIZ Render should run with 256Mb RAM.

 

Check the Readme and add the Environment variable
mentioned there.

 

Also, try starting VIZ Render using VIZR -H in the
command line, and then choose Software Z-Buffer as the display
driver.
