This happened to me once before, I think. I'm trying to remember what I did. You might try alternate-clicking the upper left corner of that window, clicking "properties", and adjusting the buffer settings (increase the size, perhaps). It was quite awhile ago, and it's pretty vague in my memory, but I think that may be how I fixed it.

When I wrote 3dsgen, I made it a console app mainly because I never thought memory would be an issue, but alas, it seems it is still. The only suggestion I can come up with is to increase your available memory by either...

1) Rebooting to DOS mode using a DOS boot disk.
2) Increasing the available memory by removing device drivers from your Autoexec and config files.
3) Using Windows XP Command prompt.

I haven't had any reports of memory issues until the email from yourself and just now from Sgt. Thorne so I don't know how widespread this is but if it continues to be an issue that can't be resolved, I'll look into porting it to Win32.
