Well, that certainly was an adamant condemnation of Windows 98 JohnRender. Jeeze, it's an OS, not a moral shortcoming. While a agree that an upgrade is probably the best solution, let's keep in mind that not everyone's financial circumstances are the same. While I'm fortunate enough to have won my copy of Windows 2000 in Microsoft's contest (and would have bought it anyway), I couldn't afford it at the moment. Likewise, I'd love to have 1GB of RAM instead of 256MB but that "few hundred dollars" is more than I can justify spending on computer stuff right now. In case you hadn't noticed, the economy's in the crapper and a lot of people are in a tight spot for a while. Let's offer helpful suggestions, not call them "insane" because their system isn't up to ideal specs. Cenozite, Cacheman is another memory manager I've heard '98 users here speak highly of. It's freeware and I think CL may even have a link to them on their site. Don't know if it'll help but certainly can't hurt to try it. Also, if it hasn't been mentioned, make sure you unload everything else possible when running Poser, anti-virus, download mangers, internet, any of those pesky little things that run in the background and consume memory. Needless to say, turn anti-virus etc. back on before going on the 'net or running/installing any new software or reading email. Good luck.
