There are some memory leak issues in P5, but you are using P4. Do you have the latest patches? Did you restart Poser or restart your computer. (Windows boxes, especially WIN98, handle memory badly and won't let it go when no longer needed... I usually have to cold boot.) In P4 you may need to create a bump map since it won't read .jpgs as bump files... but your dress might not even need a bump map if it relies on pattern for the visual interest. If Poser found the file once, it ought to find it again... just try clearing your memory cache. Carolly
