Thank you Droyd!!! And Peter, I got it most when I had Poser on it's own hard drive-- 120Gigs of it-- I was tearing out my hair-- it would render to a huge display window but not the same sized non-display window. Never had a problem from fiddling with the swap file-- yeah, it is an XP prob but compared to the ME problems I had, I'd never go back. Doesn't seem to happen in Poser 5. Emily
