I ran into a problem with Win98SE, Voluptuous Vicki & the Noa texture. After one render, if I tried another render Poser would freeze & I would have to end the process. It was suggested that I try Win2K. I did so with a multiboot config. Have not had any issues yet & it actually takes less time for Poser to start up & I would estimate about a 3-5% decrease in rendering times. Definatley make sure you have Direct X 8.0a for Win2K installed & the latest Win2K video drivers. Also, if you have a VIA Chipset board, make sure you have the latest MB drivers & enable UDMA. My system: Duron 800, ABIT KT7-A MB, 768 megs SDRAM, 32 meg GeForce II MX.
