You might also consider a ram cleanup program like Rambooster. I run that any time I'm using Poser or Vue or any of the other memory hogs I have. You'd be surprised at how helpful it is. Another thing I do is stop letting windows manage my memory. It wants to put the swap file on the c: drive which is waaaay smaller than my d: drive (I've got 26Gig of free space there right now) so I turned off that option and told it to put the swap file on the larger drive instead of the smaller c. So far, since I've done that, Poser hasn't crashed on me once and neither has Vue. Kate
