The freeze came with a single Judy, no texturing, no hair. V3 is still not installed. I only wanted to try out some camera setting that came default with P5. As for the machine, it's more than strong enough as I bought it for my C4D renders and Photoshop: PIV 3.02G with hyperthreading, 1,5Gig DDRam, GeForce4Ti 4200 128MB vidcard (OpenGL and Dualplanes on) and two HDD of 40Gig each, running XPPro. The puter is not connected to the Internet and has no systems resources taken by virusscanner, games, background utilities, firewall etc. Only my five apps (Cinema, Photoshop, Ultrafractal, Poser and Xara X), and I never have two open at the same time. The C partition is defragmented and has 10Gig free. So there won't be a problem here. Perhaps it was a bad starter, who knows? Should it happen again, then I will contact CL. Apart from that, I bought Poser for posing, and that is what is does very well. Very impressive and ease of use. Yet I suppose that the real adventures start when one leaves the highways so as to speak... The intro on 3D in the manual is very well written. Anyways thanks for the advice. I will certainly make a backup of the runtime folder before I undertake any action.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)
