Quote - Hello,

  I have a 1000 frame animation I am trying to render.  It started fine this morning and rendered 35 frames.  But at frame 36, it never rendered to the window and it kept "Writing Image File" number 36 over and over again. 

  I have rebooted, checked disk, emptied Temp.   Everytime I start it, it just starts "Writing Image File: Frame 37"  It flat won't render.

  I can render in the document window just fine.  It also renders fine on another computer..... unfortunatly its slower than the system I want to use.)

Is there some cache I need to clear or something??

  Any ideas???

The only time I remember for certain that something like that happened to me was when I let my hard disk get full.  After I deleted enough unneeded files to make room for both files and the swap file (including emptying the recycle bin!) the images carried on again in sequence.

However, I do vaguely recall a second incident a few years ago where it just didn't like the file name, perhaps because I was asking it to overwrite some prior renders of the same name.  I restarted the animation using a different name and all was fine.  (And I just used ExplorerXP to batch rename the earlier frames which were still usable so they matched the new filenamed sequence).

Good luck...
