Taura, I do not think memory is the problem. I've had the same problem as you know from the other thread. I'm still working on trying to figure out the cause on my system. I have it narrowed down to two possibilities. It is either a conflict with another software package, or a corrupt Poser install. I've started to reinstall my PC, slowly re-installing software and testing Poser. I also backed up Poser after I installed it. It has not started acting up yet, but if (when) it does, one of the first things I will do is compare the files in the Poser directory (plugins, etc) with the backup. I have 256MB and 4GB free on the drive where Poser is installed. I've not heard from CL about this, but I did send them email to let them kmow what I was doing.
