Quote - Are you rendering to disk?  That's the only way to finish large-size renders without hainging.

 

Not rendering to disk just yet. Simply trying to load some old images from CD's to new 'puter HD and updating from version 6 to 7. I have noticed some problems with the energy saving function of windows which had to be changed to manual. There were some rendering issues; especially with win 8 that I never encountered with vers 7, when the machine goes into "sleep" mode. I will try render to disk with the one image that was missing objects to see if that helps.

 

Thanks
