What gets me is that, without making any systems changes--hardware OR software, and actually reducing the number of files I had loaded into P5's Runtime folder--I went from being able to render multiple-figure and props pics to barely able to render anything. Not only that, occasionally when I attempt to load individual characters (based on V3, M3, and David)my computer now locks. I've run a boatload of diagnostics, and everything checks out as working fine, again both hardware and software. Deleting and reloading Poser, thinking maybe it had somehow become corrupted, also did nothing to ease or eliminate the problem. I am SO confused!
