Hi, Yeah...what Guitta said! Anyway, I downloaded it too, and made it through 37 minutes of rendering to Preview at 500x375 pixels, without a problem, but it still had over an hour to go and I didn't want to wait any longer, but I will try it again later since I have to go out and do some shopping---let the PC do it's thing while I'm away. Anyway, I've rendered far larger scenes to final mode without any trouble. When I set your scene to Final, after about ten minutes of rendering, the time thingie said it would take about 4 more hours. My longest render time to date was about 6 hours. I'm running Windows 98 SE with a 600 mhz Athlon, 128 MB RAM, and while I was rendering your scene (in preview), I was using IE, and my Zone Alarm always runs in the background, as well as Norton System Doctor, Mc Affee, MSN Messenger, and my Eudora mail. One thing I noticed is that your lights are all set pretty high as far as shadows go. That will also greatly slow down rendering speed, and probably tax your RAM, as well. Offhand, I'd say you probably need to adjust your memory settings, but you said you did that, so I don't know. Maybe try to uninstall Vue and re-install it? Just a wild guess, but doing that has helped with other problems. Also, e-on would probably like to have the file to check it out themselves...who knows, maybe it's a bug, but like I said, I have no reason to doubt that I would be able to render it completely. One thing you didn't mention is, how far does it get before you get the error message? Sorry to be of so little help. :( Cheers, Mike
