Hi Nigel,

Yes I hope so....

At General preferences>render>
memory: Adaptive bucket size
Adaption threshold=0.375000
Memory limit buffer=28

At Render Settings
(auto Settings)
for the final Render, the slide is at "Final", some time with Smooth polgons on.

and it load with 6 runtime maps(can that be a problem?) never before had problems with loading runtime-maps.

and sinds a day or 2 it loads very long 3 to 4 mins....? never had that before....and I allways have 'good renders, with on problems....

I do this with a:
PC: mobiel AMD Athlon(tm) XP-M 2800+
Speed: 2.13 GHZ, 992MB
(not on line) can't do the up-dates...
so move the file with memory-stick...
