I now have a new problem.  This has never happened before.  I'm trying to render a scene and lux crashed and froze my machine.  I restarted and then did a cold boot.  I tried to render again, this time taking a lot of the things out of the scene.  Nothing ever shows up in the render screen, it's just black.  My efficiency is only at 17%, I'm usually at 800 to high 900's. I tried again, this time at 50% output.  Again, nothing.  I shut everything down again and reopened Daz and reloaded the scene.  This time at 50% it started to render. I terminated the render, set the output to 100% and...again I got nothing but black.  I've turned the settings up to 1000 and 1/4.  The efficiency stays down at 17%.  Not hing seems to effect it, nothing ever shows in the render screen.  I am running Lux .9 I think. 

Any ideas what is wrong?  Did I accidentally change something that would cause things to behave this way?  If so, what could it be?  Should I start using the current stable build? It's 1.0 if I remember correctly.  I've tried for several hours now and can't get this scene to render.  I created a new scene with just a naked genesis figure in it and it rendered just fine.  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

try having task manager open before you send it to lux to render and watch to see how much memory it is trying to use.. if it uses all your memory and then starts using the hard disk swap file it will slow to a crawl...
