Thank you, millinghost! I never knew what it was before, only that I didn't have it to be able to use some apps. (some bits of DAZ Studio wouldn't work for me because of that. This pc won't even run DS for me!)

@Snarlygribbly:

I've got the renderer now and it's working on the scene I saved before. I'm eager to see how it turns out! I didn't change any settings because I've no idea what I'm doing in that part of the program. I'm just glad you helped me find out I didn't have everything I needed.

 

ETA: I noticed that the renderer has an option for multiple threads, currently set at 2. Would it be beneficial to raise that number?
