Hello!! HELP!!

I am using Maya on 400mhz G3 ImacDV Special with 512mb RAM with ATY
Rage 128 graphics card.
Everytime I use CV curves or EP curves and try to manipulate and move
points the macintosh crashes and I have to reboot. Also when moving
any NURBS object or rotating it crashes also.
Is there anything I can do to resolve or help situation.
It renders fine and everything else is smooth..

Thank you

Thanks

I have not tried reinstalling yet. I will, but I do not think thats it.
It looks like I might have to get a G4 but was trying to work
around it for now.

I don't know anything about Macs but this could be a gfx card problem. I once tried to instal Maya PLE on my laptop PC, which has no 3D accelerated GFX card. The PLE launched but crashed immediately when I tried to do something...

ha ha after the typical mac jokes, I would just like to say that I have been running Maya PLE on my Mac (G4 400Mhz 128 ATI Rage, +400 RAM) very regular since it was released and have had very few crashes, about 3 times. So the program itself is very reliable. Perhaps try looking to see it there is any new driver updates!

Driver updates where to look?

Thanks Ian

I will start the hunt for some graphic card driver updates. The card
in the computer is a ATI Rage 128 accelerated card 8mb video RAM
Is it possible that its because I am using Maya on a G3.
When I move say a nurbs sphere around a little with the move tool
after about 5 or 6 moves it crashes in OSX.
Thank you in advance for any help.

running smooth as a ferrari on Mac OSX
