Haha thanks Bill. The last update for IE for Mac was about 10 years ago, so that won't be a help. lol

Anyway, I understand the manual render settings and have done everything I can think of to lighten the load. I've been using Poser since v6 and have never had any issues with renders (other than sometimes having the time to build a house during some. haha) I've rendered more complex scenes on my laptop with v7. It just seems that P8 does not like me or my Mac. (But sorry Bill, the Mac stays! ;) )

I think I just need to go back to 7. I haven't had any issue whatsoever with it. I rendered out the same scene I was having issues with in 7 and it completed the render wit no errors.  And it has the same settings as it did in 8. I've actually not had good luck with P8 at all. I'm on my second incident report with them since I got it. Every day I have new issues and add them to my incident responses. They have been very helpful and responsive but P8 and I just are not friends. All in all it may just be a ghost in the machine. (and I do love a good ghost story). So I guess the marriage is over and it's back to 7 with me.

Thanks all,
