 well let me tell you what I am running and the problem I'm
experiencing. I have a hp pavillion with xp home on it with 312 mb ram 
here is my problem I'm trying to create a ring simular to a cast iron
cylinder liner so when I fire up blender I erase the default cube and
replace it with a tube mesh. then I select all vertices push the E key
to extrude then the s key to size the extruded vertices to a smaller
diameter. but when I hit the s key to size it smaller the vertices
seem to spin on an axis instead of heading towards the center of the
tube. most aggrevating I assure you. I'm pretty sure when they
released 2.41 this setting was left on which is surely confusing many
people. I hope someone here has the answer to my problem, once I get
this straightened out I'll tell you about my materials problems and
maybe post a picture of how crappy things look in this latest version.
yes I have the osa on, yes I have subsurfaced it.still looks horrid.
all i know is it was hard to get a crappy looking material in the old
blender and the new one is just the opposite.
