I thought that my main poser runtime being nearly 3 gigabytes was too big, but now it doesn`t seem so bad.

Kinda put's things into perspective don't it? LOL! Oh, and the above doesn't take into account my Bryce projects at all! (Which I use for a lot of my backgrounds.)

3 Gigabytes? That's a tiny little baby Runtime LOL I saw one yesterday at 60-something G

Im not at home, but mine is over 11 GB

Word of advice to those using WindowsXP "bells&whistles", go to Control Panel->System->Advanced. Click Performance and select "Adjust for Best Performance" and Apply! :)

And to those of you using "WindowBlinds", please uninstall.

Doing the first will improve system and application performance nicely.

Removing WindowBlinds will increase performance significantly!!! ETA: These make for nice individuality and pleasant interfaces, but the cost is system resources and performance. Darn, I'm on a dual Xeon and I want every bit of speed that can be scraped off the bottom. Turn your 2000 hour renders into 20!

And do you know what's in that folder? Every item? Every option? Do you use it? Didi you try it all out? Just questions...mine is some 5GB and I can't remember what I have. I made a kind of site with a page for each item...

NaySayGuy, WOW!!! You may need a larger harddrive! ;0)

Wow, boasting in runtimes how cool. Now we all can see who spent the most on Poser stuff and so much stuff he or she will never be able to use. I've got no idea my runtimes are and to find out takes a lot of times, I've got over 20 runtimes. For each figure and category a new one, like M1, M3, P4, scenes, props, hair, animals and so on.

hmm..I'm at about 4g..but I need to go through someday (yeah, right), and delete the stuff that doesn't work..;) Don't have Internet at home at the moment, so you'll just have to take my word for it..;)

aeilkema...didn't you just make a post a couple of days ago saying that it would be your last post? yet here you are again being sarcastic to people who are having a bit of fun...go figure, colour me surprised...NOT! ;P

rofl Naysay... I love the extra options on the folder too ;o)

blonderella, guess you didn't read that post to careful?

yeah, I know...you said "maybe"...what's the point in posting and saying you're leaving RR, maybe...I might leave here forever...maybe...unless you beg me to stay, then I'll think about it...that's too funny...hehehehe ROTFLMAO

I can't show you my all-time HUGE runtime because Poser 5 simply would not work anymore and I deleted it. I was up to about 70 gigs. I have Poser 6 now, and it , LOL! Going to put another copy of Poser on another drive for the extra stuff. Haven't got the hang of seperate runtimes. Heard that's the answer.

You know I'm getting really fed up with people telling me how to run my system and to remove this because they don't like it or that because it slows down performance. I've never complained about slow performance or render times. I enjoy the configurability of the appearance of my GUI that WindowBlinds allows and I have no intention of uninstalling it. Just as I use Poser to make things that are pleasing to the eyes. I use Windowblinds for the exact same reason. It hasn't caused me any problems and I run my system how I see fit. I appreciate the information you shared about performance and WindowBlinds, but I'd prefer it if you just posted the information and left the judgement calls on whether to install or uninstall it to the end user. Nobody enjoys being told how to run things in their own home.

38,6 GB, 270.002 files, 17.350 folders <- trying to win at least the folder competition ;-)

After that last picture you posted (the enema bottle), I didn't know if I wanted to peek in on this thread or not! I have my files divided into several runtimes and rename the folder to poser4 when wanting a different one.

Oh dear. 12.3Gb on my "main" runtimes (V3, Sp3, Aiko, The Girl, Hiro, Animals, Gen 2 Millenium People and other stuff). 1 GB for M3 & the Freak 2.99 for "Scenery" (settings, buildings, etc) So no, not that big compared to some. I try to be judicious in what I download and install, but I also need to install a new HDD :P

Sorry about that, Mizrael. Too abrasive sounding on my part. It's just that a constant topic here is on how slow Poser is, how unstable, how much resources it hogs. One of the reasons for this is having other things running and hogging resources. Without applications running, I only have 35 processes running (and I'd decrease that if it were at all possible - but I do have NAV on 24-7 which accounts for about 6 or 7 of those). Just something to consider before complaining about Poser's performance.

Wow RoyG! A runtime from the last century? XD As for the question someone asked: No, I can't find half my stuff, and that's even with it divided up in comprehensible bits with PBooost (which I love and adore and would never change for separate Runtimes) - and so far it's only because Daz TELLS you if you're about to buy the same thing twice that I haven't done so LOL I guess it's a sort of collectormania. I've bought lots of stuff (like the Spanish Themed stuff at Daz) that I know I'll most likely never use. But it was pretty and wow and... well... Heheh Petunia... I'm USUALLY very ... uhm... innocent over here ;o)

Like I said, I appreciate the information about how it affects my resources. I only took offense at being told to remove something based on complaints I've never made personally. As for processes eating up resources. AVG Antivirus runs three background resources, my HP printer runs another three resources. I use task manager to kill the ones I'm not using normally. WindowBlinds runs all of one process (Currently using 1,668k of ram and 0 CPU resources).

------> Heheh Petunia... I'm USUALLY very ... ------> uhm...innocent over here ;o) LOL ...... so I noticed!

Still sorry about that. I'm a little frustrated while following all of this continuing catastrophe in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. I think that my main point is that I don't run anything on my computers unless it is absolutely necessary (evil or not, as in the case of NAV). No Instant Messengers, no GUI boosters, no bells&whistles, nothing. I've seen too often naive computer users with a SysTray stacked with dozens of junk apps and services running (you can run, but you can't hide!) - and then they wonder why their computer runs so slowly and is unstable. By removing junk on my computer and disabling every unnecessary service, I regained over 20MB of memory - very useful memory. WindowsBlinds does rock. I used to use it (and even had their ObjectDesktop). In my case, it is an unnecessary luxury item. If you are pleased with it and it doesn't impact your system, then all power to you! :)

Yeah I've been pretty glued to the weather channel for two days watching the disaster down there as well. Certainly makes me glad I don't own ocean front property! 2.3 million people now homeless. That's a mind boggling figure that my brain just refuses to wrap itself around.

ROFL, NaySayGuy :D

don't if a should shame me self or be proud
and when I really had loaded all the textures in the proper files that the libraries indicate the runtime would be extended with anot 7-8 GB.

Lis, hunny, your Runtime is bigger than my HD, LOL! And here I felt bad about using up 10 gigs... Sheesh!

Sigh, if only I had kept my Poser 3 Runtime. :)
