Well, I've actually had problems resuming rendering after shutting down the program. Here's the rundown from my experience: 1. If you keep the program running, you can just stop rendering, and then from the menu choose resume render...no problem. 2. If you want to turn your computer off or shut down the program: a: If you were rendering to disk, it has been my experience that as long as the vue file is saved in the landscape directory and the image file is being rendered to the picture directory you should be able to resume render by just starting the program opening your file and choose resume render. b: If you are rendering to screen, if you stop the render, save the partial render to the picture directory, and make sure your file is saved in the landscape directory. Later, start the program, open file, and resume your render. From my experience, problem arises when the files are not stored in the default directories (both the vue and image file) - the resume option is not available. -Karl
