I just installed the free Metacreations Poser 3 that came with issue 37 of 3D World. When I try to run it, I get the out of memory error and I have over a Gig of RAM is there a fix for it? I tried the CL 3.01 update but it said its already patched. I 'm using XP and tried all the different compatibility modes and still no go...

already checked the FAQ, no answer...

That's the all-purpose error message and usually means that Poser can't find the geometry file for the default character. You might wanna reinstall and see if that helps.

I bought issue 32 to get the free Lightwave demo for Mac. It never did work.

I cant get poser itself to open. I'm not trying to load a figure or anything, just trying to load poser. But I read at PoserPros that I may have too much RAM for it. I got the Lightwave DE issue too and it seemed to work fine for me, tho I've since uninstalled it. I am on a PC tho so it might be a bad mac installer file or something.

I would get that error too. I turned my virtual ram down to under 512mb and it would run. There is a patch for version 4 but I'm not sure about 3

Jerr3d, I had the same problem, the Mac installer was faulty. I emaoed them about it and they sent me a new CD in the post. It works great, REALLY complicated app though! Baz

I couldn't even get the disk to run that came with my copy. According to my computer, the disc is empty.

lol I was just gonna come in here and say something about the CD. Issue 37 is a double CD issue and the one with Poser worked, the other one wouldnt read. I have a sub so I guess I'll another one but I'm gonna try that fix. I'll try dropping my virtual mem and see if that fixes the Poser 3 issue. thanks for the info and help...

Yes it has Vicky 1 LoRes. I got the lores Vicky from Daz and this has a different name and obj file. The one from Daz is called Victoria 1 Lo Res and the obj file is blMilWomLo.obj. The 3D World one is called Victoria 1 RR and the obj file is blMilWomLoNG.obj. Also I Downloaded that fix for the CD and it worked and I dropped my virtual mem to 500 and P3 is working :)
