I am working with poser since 2001.

yesterday I saw the first time a strange error message from Poser, stating,
that there is no more space on the volume to render with the given resolution.
(pic is 1024x768 px with 72 dpi, scenefile is approx 22 Meg, with 2 V3 characters).
the funny thing, I rendered quite e dozen
of versions of that scene and suddenly poser complained.
I restarted Poser: the same message, I restarted the PC the same. I used
another scene with just one single prop, but with the same resolution settings:
the same message.
I checked the volume (Poser resides on a separate HD with 19 gig), there are
still approx 4 gig free space. the complete poser runtime is approx. 8 gig in
size, that seems funny. is there a 8 gig restriction for Poser or such a thing ???
I use windows XP with fat32 file system. Poser4.
then I moved some texture folders from my Poser HD, and voila: it worked again.

It could be that poser needs more memory to render the picture, so although the picture is quite small poser might need a gigabyte or two of memory to render it.

Sounds like you were running out of space on the Poser drive or possibly your system drive. I'm not sure what temporary files Poser creates while running, but they might get saved to the Windows Temp folder on your system drive rather than to a folder on the Poser drive.

Also, if the Windows swap file may have grown too big. This lives on the system drive by defualt, but you can specify which disk it goes on using Windows' virtual memory settings. If Poser was using lots of memory to do the render, the swap file might have expanded to its maximum size, swamping the disk where it lives.

4 Gig is not a lot of free space these days. Sad but true.

I noticed Poser would cry if there was less than 15GB free space on my HD.

I'd just saving the scene and rebooting. Sometimes, after continuous renders, Poser does weird things...

The following is for PPP but outside of the Python15.dll it may work for straight P4. Make a clean install, seperate drive if you have one or to a new folder. Locate the following files and burn them to a cd. Waste a lot of space. asi32_13.dll ijl10.dll Poser.dta Poser.exe Poser.rsr python15.dll (?) Now when you get the Cannot render at current resolution error shut down Poser and copy the files from your cd back to the P4 folder and let them overwrite. This cures the same problem I get on occasion with PPP.

Hi thanks for the replies and suggestions. I'll have a closer look this weekend (so I'll find time - there is wonderful sunsine weather announced ...)

JK :)
