Quote - In the meantime, I'm with Kawecki. As long as Poser can tell you anything, it's not out of memory. The moment it runs out, Windows pulls the plug immediately.

No, Windows won't. When a program tries to allocate more memory than is available to it, the allocation will return with an error code. The program can then respond to the error code.

The automatic bucket resizing in older Poser versions was built around that - when the system did not fulfill memory requests any more while rendering, the renderer would free all the memory that was used for the bucket so far, reduce the bucket size and do another attempt.
