Hi Annie,  the shot looks great.  Now you may want to play around with various refraction indexs.  That is how light bends when entering a different media such as water.  You may want to try alcohol.  Also tune up the transparency and reflection channels (I like to have the total of both equal to 1 eg if you set the transparency to 80, try 20 as the reflection -what doesnt go through bounces off, some is probably absorbed so the two may not total exactly 1 in real life.

That goes for the glass too and try the frescal effect on the glass (need refraction values for that too) and raytrace activated on your lighting plus some walls and flooring (something to plant our goblet on).

Now for your computer problem:  Here is some stuff to try:

Clean your registery, temp files, history folders, cache etc with a good cleaner like McAfee using its default settings.

then use the come with your Microsoft software Cleanmgr to rid yourself any bodies left over.

then defrag your computer (a couple of times).

Run a virus check using your updated antivirus program.

Shut off your computer for about 10 seconds and bring it back on line

See if that cures stuff

If not, disconnect everything except your keyboard and mouse--if that doesn't work, you may have to reload drivers )go on the internet and get the latest update for the respective device.

If that doesn't work-start another thread specifically for your computer and ask Rendo's experts or go Google say computer problems, see what they say-reformat as the extreme last resort-that drastic action involves days of getting everything back and several bottles of Excedrin and many why me's and or condemning the computer to the very depths of double hockey sticks.  Jan
