Thanks Elena.

The revised 1.02q version of the plugin should stop the multiple error messages - so if you re-download 1.02q that should help part of your problem.  I am reasonably certain it will be a hardware issue for you - the 540M has 96 cores, so at the low end of the hardware spectrum.  Have you tried reducing the ray bounces (kernel->maxdepth) right down to maybe 4?  Also, which kernel are you rendering with?  Is there is any chance you could email me the hair prop in question, I can try it on my PC?

OK, enough questions from me :-)

[EDIT] I doubt it's a "number of vertices" issue.  I've had 500million vertices in my 1Gig card (with instancing).  And non-instancing I've had 4million polygons, and I would have guess a beard would be in the hundred's of thousands of vertices rather than the millions.
