eelie - I've had those same probs and its always been a texture prob - for me, my probs start when textures get too big... seems to start happening when one of the dimension of the texture are greater than 2500 (I wish my probs started at 4000 like mloates). The other thing is the long texture names - keep them short - I thought the limit was 32 characters... but it may be shorter.
