I'm working with Poser4, Windows98B, 2.66 ghz and 1gbRAM. Poser won't render under certain circumstances. It will work flawlesly if I render P4 or Vic2 figures but when I try to render a Vic3 or Mike3, the program freezes. The cursor moves but nothing happens. The only way I can close Poser is ctl,alt,delete. If I reopen Poser or restart the computer and open Poser, it works OK (creating and saving new files) but it won't render anything (not even P4 figures). Another piece to the puzzel. If I shut down and power off for a few seconds, then restart, Poser renders P4 and V2 but freezes if I try any V3 figure. If I shut down overnight, Poser will render a v3 figure the first time if I use a low res texture, then freeze the second time I try to render. If I try to render a V3 with hi res texture, it freezes the first time without any sign of rendering.

Have you downloaded the Last Service Release for Poser 4? Apparently there was a memory issue that was fixed with this release.

Yes I installed it but it didn't help

Try decreasing texture map size (or eliminating some larger maps) until you can get it to render. But with 1 GB RAM, you would need 8 or 10 maps at 4096X4096 to really freeze it up good.

Try getting rid of Windows 98, and getting Windows XP. You'll be much happier.

I seem to remember a forum on the curious labs web site which suggested increasing the virtual memory with directions how to. Anybody know about this?

I think this is it. The instructions are certainly applicable.
