Ok, so I rarely have this problem... Clean install of Windows XP, dual Athlon, 512MB DDR Ram. 60gb boot drive, 80gb drive with poser installed. Installed the AMD bus master IDE driver to get my damn DVD player to work in DMA mode and now I can't render ANYTHING in a new window. A single Mike figure with no textures won't even render. What the hell! Does P5 have this problem? e.d.

Increase your virtual RAM. There are several threads on here about it. Search for "Insufficient disk space" on this forum.

Nah, I tried that...had it maxed out at 4GB. thanks, though. e.d.

Did you install the XP patch? I dont have this problem but I have XP Pro. Ron

What XP Patch? I am running Pro... Did not have the problem until I installed the IDE driver... e.d.

try lowering the max. Poser may not recognize 4 gig as a valid number

problem resolved... not 100% sure what did it, but setting the page file to a fixed size on both drives (swear I had it this way before), a full chkdisk and then defrag, and now I can render again. thanks for all your suggestions. e.d.

I'm not sure if it affects P5 but I seem to recall seeing a tech article at CL that said that if your poser install was not o your main boot drive you had to create a VM partition of between 10 & 50Mb on the "Poser" disk. You also have problems with 1Gb of memory which got got fixed with a patch. This was all for P4, but having done it already, I'm sure if it fixes any quirks with P5. There are a lot of ptaches for XP however, SP1 ad-infinitum, you could go to windowsupdate to get them but I prefer fileflash, (link) check under the "stories" heading top left, they're just the straight download without all the dicking about. I installed a few new ones just yesterday... later jb
