Has anyone had any success running under this OS? I am trying to render a large file using our Dual processor server, which runs NT 4..and I get an "Out of Memory" message when Poser starts. Now this machine has 20Gigs of space free, and 2048MB of RAM. (yes that is 2 gigs of ram). I don't understand this out of memory error. I'm not using it for modelling or whathave you..I just want to open up the Poser file, and then click Make Movie..and have it do the number crunching..thats it. siiigh this is SOOOO stressing me out.

I run NT4 with SP3, and only got the Out of Memory error the first time I ran P4. After that, no problem. I tried installing SP4 and the system would not even run. It kept crashingon startup. When it finally did start I uninstalled SP4 and went back to SP3. Have you tried setting the priority higher?

And it seems to be working now. i rendered the animation, and wonder of wonders it seemed to be using both processors too! :)) Wheee!

Some programs will think they're out of memory on NT with 2 gigs of total memory (swap + physical) free. Other programs will have the same problem at 4 gigs. Since you have 2 gigs physical and 20 gigs free hard disk, you can easily end up with either 2 or 4 gigs free. My favorites are programs which refuse to install if there's over 2 gigs free hard drive space.

There are problems with Service Pack 5 and I wouldn't recommend it unless it fixes some problem you had with SP4. And as far as the "out of memory" error, Poser (from what I've been able to determine) doesn't use the WinNT memory management mechanism. Shut down all your other applications and try it again.

I'm running P4 on NT4.0 with SP5 and have not had any problems. My system, PII 300MHZ, 9GB HD, 386MB ram. Ralph

I can render anything and I have NT4 with P4 and I don't know what service pack or anything, but know I do have enough memory and do not run any other programs while I'm using it. One day it did work, but not anymore. It is frustrating isn't it??

Poser 4 runs flawlessly on my dual PIII NT4 with SP5.

Wait till you see it's performance on Win2k. I have had NO issues with either Truespace, Photoshop5, Bryce4, or Poser 5. WIN2K ROCKS BABY! co(V)(V)union

Well, I got Poser installed with NT 4 and SP 5, I only have 64 megs of RAM on a PII 350 MHz 17.2 gigs harddisk and don't have this problem.

I'm running Poser4 on NT4.0 with service pack 4.The only time I've seen Poser4 barf like that is when I have a scene that's way too complex.I think the limits are with the software not the hardware.Does anyone know just how many polygons Poser4 can handle?I've been experimenting with rendering and watching the task manager and Poser really isn't taxing my system that much.I'm running dual PIII 450's and 256megs ram.With netscape open I did a render of the P4 woman with a 20 meg tif texture on it and I rarely spiked above 51% of my cpu's and 180 megs of ram or so during the render.

Kuzinov, Poser is single threaded. 50% on a dial processor machine is saturation.

I never claimed it was multi-threaded.I was just stating what the task manager showed when using a very large texture and a full anti-aliased render to try to see what Poser actually uses.Of course,this brings up my dream patch for Poser4;multi-threading with OpenGL hardware acceleration.But considering what Poser does for the money,I'm quite happy.
