Hi hipchick, I don't know if this will help or not but the first thing I would do is check your( RuntimeGeometriesDAZPeople ) for the blFreak.obj file. If it is in the right place than deleter the .rsr file for it. Some times these get corrupted. Also I checked on the curious labs web site and I do believe you do need the updater. They've even added Poser Artist to the name. You may only have 512 physical ram but you have to add virtual to that also those together are probably at least a gig. I think some times we should work at the simple stuff before we start getting all complicated. :)
