Yes this is a completely new scene, it hangs doing anyhting with a particular characters ( Thorn, little monster)  This morning Victoria was working ok but as soon as you tried to do something with them it freezes. I eeven managed to save a scene but and it opens fine but when I tried to conform or parent the props if freezes. I did a couple of renders and then I tried to do a bigger render at 150 dpi it froze. I loade the millenium horse, new scene,pose it then did a regular render it froze. Now when I tried to load the props into M4 it asks me to manually load the OBJ where before it did automatically. This is in  a new scene. Should I restart my computer? I have done everything, lowering my undos to 20, my cache to 3, my preview to 252 I think, my file search to shallow.
