moochie, the render was only at the default level of 72dpi in the 'NEW WINDOW'! As for my censor it's only to cover my safety nets. LOL Can't be to careful on some things, if you catch my drift. S I'll check out the items you suggest on Google, and reseat my Ram Chips to see if that's what is causing trouble! Might be that, but if that was it then my other renders would be stalling out also, I think, and I've had no problems with anything else!! I think I know what your telling me about the Task Manager, not certain, but maybe my husband will know. I do have an app for checking memory, it's Mem Tester. Maybe you know this one? I haven't run it, just plain forgot about that little helper to be honest. I'll give it a go and see what happens! Thanks again hon!! -SeaC-
