SYMPTOMS
========
 
While trying to preview, one of the following error messages appears in the
SOFTIMAGE 3D Command Prompt:
 
  CreateDIBSection failed with error code = 0
 
-OR-
 
  worldtoprsp1: divide by zero, transformation ignored
 
This can also cause SOFTIMAGE 3D to crash without any warnings.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The X resolution and perhaps the X and Y resolution in Preview Setup are
set to 0. You must specify a value other than 0 for the X (Y resolution
alone does not cause a problem).
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
In the Preview Setup, enter a value other than 0 for the X resolution.
