"memory leak" Imagine your computer Ram of a specific size. Now each application plus the operating system takes a part of that. Any active application, in our case Vue, now use for specific operations (rendering for example, or importing Poser stuff etc) more Ram and takes it from the still free part of your computer Ram. If the operation is done, the needed extra Ram normally is given back to the "free part" again. If this is not the case and the application is not giving that back properly, slowly the free Ram is running out. When this is the case and there is no more free Ram left over but needed, you will get an "out of memory" error. Unfortunately this is depending on a lot of system specific items as well. I always say in this context, that my operating system Windows 2000 never showed such an out of memory (oom) error, even when the system has only 256 MB or Ram while a lot here with Windows XP have that problem heavily. This maybe has to do with the way the operating system deals with so called paging - a method to "save" actually not used application "parts" that block Ram to a slower medium, your hard disk for example, temporarily. BTW, you can see how the system deals with memory when you open the task monitor and select the memory use there. If you are clever, you maybe find some operations that cause the leak in Vue. That would be cool.
