Hi, You are having the same problem I had before I upgraded to Windows XP. The hi-res textures are very memory intensive, apparently ('But I have 512mb-is'nt that enough???'I thought) Then I found out that it's most likely windows 98 which doesn't handel memory very efectivly after you upgrade past 128 mb) I thought my Mike Hi-res texture was bugged or broken too but the second i went to win XP it renders EVERYTHING no problem (in fact Poser hasn't bombed out once yet-YIPPIIIIIIII!!!) I think win 2000 and NT work as good for this as XP. Hope this was a help :)
