Quote - I have been getting crashes occasionally in the hair room and cloth room, so when I read this thread I thought "I wonder if". Ive now cleaned and defragged my systems disk and my Poser disk and things seem to be more stable now and things load faster but there is one very unexpected result,
  I went back to the scene I had been working on previously and when I render, the page file size has gone down from 1.5Gb to 1,0Gb,

 

Interesting... so less is being sent out to disk once the volume is defragged.  I wonder if perhaps this is entirely a poser issue or if it might have something to do with how windows itself handles it's virtual memory.  I'll have to do some reading and see what I can uncover.  Glad to hear this apparenlty fixed your problem though.  At least now I'll have at least one suggestion for other folks to try the next time they say "I'm having problems with Poser.."
