I am having the same problems too. At one point I lowered my bucket to 25..it then looked like it was rendering OK..took 1 hour to finish and I have posted here my result. After reading this post..I tried to reset the hair setting and all..and  Poser is crashing. I even tried to render in Poser 6 and the program stalled. I have Nividia GForce card and 2 G memory..maybe I dont have enough memory but I dont think that is the case. I do wish this character would work for me because Raven turned out an awesome render with it! Thanks for posting this thread..at least I know I am not the only one with this problem and it isnt JUST me hehheh....** **
