Defragged yesterday! No other programs open! Poser was stalled for almost an hour with only Aiko default settings, no added hair, (bald as a new born's butt) didn't add a texture, no added lights, no props, default all the way just a test run render to see how she looked, know what I mean?! :) Aiko doesn't render all the way in the "other" window function, that's the problem, and she's the FIRST character I've ever installed that did this. I've run lots of programs with V3 rendering at the same time and never had a problem with characters before!! As to the task manager, I'm not sure, never used it or just don't know what it is, nor do I know what the scratch disk space is. Oh yeah, I uninstalled and reinstalled just for fun to see if that helped, no go! I ran norton utilities for any problems, and that came out clean as a whistle, so got any thing else I might try? Thanks hon! -SeaC- :)
