I have solved my horrendous render-crash problems. I decreased the hardware acceleration on my windows Display | Settings | Advance | Troubleshoot option tab. I had my setting to Full hardware acceleration, so I moved it down 2 notches. This I learnt from the Curious Lab P6 Knowledge base. To increase my chances of not crashing, I went into Windows System | Advanced | Performance | Settings. Here I did 2 things - A) Visual Effects tab: select Adjust For Best Performance (this may change the visual look on your screen) B) Advanced tab: Virtual memory - opt to Change; select System Managed Size on all available hard drives (this changes what Windows does with the size of its swapfile). This I learnt from fellow members here at Renderosity. Re-booted computer. Launched Poser 6. Ah !...... no more grief and tearing my hair out.
