i run on a 200 mmx machine with 98 mg ram. I dont consider my poser renders simple (in the sense of only one char, i usually as a norm have at least 4 chars, all clothed- so those count as chars, and backdrops.) i dont export to bryce to render- i do all my rendering in poser. I run on win 95b. the only time i have probs with textures dissapearing or freezing up is when i run icq. For some reason icq and poser (on my machine) dont mix. I can do one or the other but not both. Are you runing icq when these prob happen? just a thought,..
